To answer Shaun's completely off-the-topic question:
The Green and Orange Quickbeams were made by National (aka
Panasonic). I'm not certain about the silver ones.
When I had to fix a flat on my orange Quickbeam, I noticed it had a
Panasonic rim strip, a Panasonic tube, and of course a Panaracer
Bunch

If you had followed his blog of a few years ago, you would know he
does not consume meat, uses the bike as his primary form of transit,
and, importantly, is very involved in motivational efforts concerning
weight loss, fitness, cycling, etc.

I didn't mean to make personal comments directed at the OP, I was
trying to direct them at his post. I commented because I felt that
the post seemed out of character for this list. It's one thing to say

Interesting how differently we can interpret a post. I thought the OP
intended this as self-deprecating humor. Sheesh, how could any
reasonable person forget about such a great bike stashed away in the

Precisely how I meant it. We have moved so much in the past coupla
years, it's any wonder I can find my brain.

unwraps it all. Nope.
He's got his issues, but I guess there's no denying I've got mine
either.

I recall you mentioning it once back in your blog days. I just assumed
you sold it.
Pacenti has some potentally great 650B tires about to ship. Get your
order in soon. The first run is probably close to selling out if it
has not already.
Of course the venerable Hetres should be a fit as well.
I was down in my basement yesterday puttering around and working on my
bikes. All I found was dust, boxes full of stuff I don't really need,
and some cracked Planet Bike fenders. Last week I found my Keen sandal
which had been MIA for a year. Maybe I'll go down there and rummage
around some more.
I said the exact same thing - Christmas in April!

Scott,
I think you may have found the --I thought un-attainable-- point at
which you have too many bikes. I never thought I would say that to
anyone.

cobble something together from the flotsam and Jetsom in the garage

If only I had a basement to hide things in. Lucky you!
