It’s been warm enough to melt the snow and ice from even the shadiest of places on my back route to Woodland Park, so I’ve ridden the Quickbeam a few times the last few rides. I love the delight of two completely different frames with nearly identical saddle, pedal, handlebar set up, and engine (grin) riding a five mile stretch of very familiar and very varied trail and road.
The gift of getting to delight in the two delightfully different and wonderfully similar rides is amazing. 38mm plush Compass tires v. 2.1” plush Racing Ralphs, are surprisingly similar to each other yet with a noticeable smoothness on asphalt and roughness on corrugated trail to the Barlow’s v. the Schwalbe’s. The Quickbeam is lively and barely contained, eager to leap forward, and if I’m not mistaken has the illusive mystical plaining of spritely frames. It compels me to ride wildly and simply with a flowing confidence. The Hunqapillar is deliberate and sure, powerful and solid with a rumbling confidence that no matter the load or the trail or road, we will get through it with wild abandon and delight on the way. With abandon, Patrick, living where we expect another batch of snow, though not so cold as it’s been www.OurHolyConception.org www.MindYourHeadCoop.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
