True, but the Legolas still seems to have some uniqueness to it. Maybe the off-menu ordering adds to the mystique! On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 11:01 AM, Joe Bernard wrote: > The Legolas is still available off-book because of trademark issues with > the Tolkein title. > > On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 a

The Legolas is still available off-book because of trademark issues with the Tolkein title. On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 9:15:00 AM UTC-7, James Warren wrote: > > > And I dare say the cantilevered Romulus. Although that one came by > accident. Somewhat similar to the Legolas, but with a sligh

And I dare say the cantilevered Romulus. Although that one came by accident. Somewhat similar to the Legolas, but with a slightly lower BB. On Apr 1, 2015, at 8:59 AM, cyclotourist wrote: > My green QB had a stick on SN. It was from the first batch I believe. > > I think QBs hold their value

Re: [RBW] Re: Old Quickbeam

My green QB had a stick on SN. It was from the first batch I believe. I think QBs hold their value the best of any of the Rivendell frames due to their low numbers, uniqueness and continued desirability. There is currently no similar Rivendell frame, so you can't get the updated, tweaked model lik

Mine also has a sticker S/N.If the QB fits you well and has been otherwise comfortable up to this point, I'd look into a SA internal gear hub like a fixed 3-speed, which you can just use with a freewheel. good luck with it either way. On Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 8:24:24 PM UTC-4, Minh

I agree with Minh in a general way, but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the collectable quality of the better Rivendell stock models; after all, look at what happens to RB-1s and XOs. The absolutely first criterion for Riv bike quality is the handling, and IME, having owned 5 -- tho' not a QB -

[RBW] Re: Old Quickbeam

my QB only has a sticker for a SN. IMHO, a QB (or a Rivendell in general) is not a Herse, and a QB was always meant as an affordable bike so i don't see this as collectible. Just my opinion, i'd price this like all the other QBs that have floated through the list and not worry too much about

[RBW] Re: Old Quickbeam

Back around 2007 or so, there was a unique one-off which showed up (I saw it down at the NAHBS, IIRC.) It had horizontal rear fork ends, and was not a fully lugged model. (OK... I just spent the last 30 minutes trolling through my albums and those which were still accessible... all to naught
