I have owned my Quickbeam for a year now. I love it. It’s a great bike
for riding in the city, commuting, etc. Very sturdy, but not
particularly slow. It will go fast if you pedal hard enough. Very
smooth ride, perfectly quiet. I originally got interested in Rivendell
bikes because they are one of

Thanks Ray. I used an upright handlebar on it during the winter, with
a longer stem. On rutted snow, the front end really bounces around a
lot on any bike, so the upright bars were a bit more manageable. But
for general use I wouldn’t change the noodle bars.
I experimented with having a small
