I had a bike stolen from a locked Element with tinted windows in the middle of the day at the convention center a year and a half ago. I came to understand that bike theft is rampant there so be careful. I did recover the frame, straight but trashed, just a couple months ago. I had it listed

Congratulations on your new-to-you Quickbeam! If you can post pictures, I'm sure we'd all like to see it. My personal favorite rack for my basketed Quickbeam is the Nitto M-12, that mounts to the canti studs. Granary Cycles had a similar-but-different Nitto rack, but they're sold out. -
