Yes, I love my Quickbeam and live in Hawaii, but that's not really the point of this email, though my QB is involved...
I was on my way home today after doing a bit of research for a volunteer project this weekend and decided to stop to get sandwich to take home. As I'm netting my sandwich to my Platrack I hear a distinct, "Excuse me, I just came over to look at your bike. I was across the street and thought I saw a Rivendell." There stood a nice young man, goes by the hand of Evil Genius online, who quite obviously was digging my QB. He's definitely going to be riding one sooner or later if I'm any judge of character. He said he'd seen maybe three here on Oahu. I've seen one, mine. I ended up taking a picture of my bike to send to him, so I'm including that here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/4702877562/ <http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/4702877562/> But that isn't even the point. He sent me a link with a shot of his Riv-ish Masi (no fenders, but no one is perfect). http://gs-guccilife.blogspot.com/2008/05/alohamrmasi.html <http://gs-guccilife.blogspot.com/2008/05/alohamrmasi.html> He mentioned that the stems and bars are Nittos from Riv and that recently he's put another coat of shellac on things that needed shellacing. Finally he noted that he's up at a place called K-VIBE here in Kalihi which I've simply got to go check out.... http://k-vibe.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-k-vibe-works.html <http://k-vibe.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-k-vibe-works.html> My bike was especially happy today because someone besides me got to appreciate it!
