[RBW] WTB: Quickbeam or Simple One

2023-05-25 Thread Doug H.
I'm planning to buy the new Riv single speed but thought I would see if there are any on the market used. I would need a 54 to 56 size range (I'm not sure what sizes were made) as I am 5'10" with an 83 PBH. If you want to sell to buy the new model or just don't dig single speed let me know. Doug

One of the nicest riding -- on road -- bikes I ever rode was an early or mid-1960s Paramount track bike owned by my brother; from the days when there was surprising clearance between ~23 mm tires and crown and bridge; more than the 1980s Schwinn Tempo that was my first fixed gear (and a nice riding

As anyone who is looking at bikes recently will find, there are not many available. Of those mentioned, only a cross check is available locally. Craigslist is becoming less of a resource, likely where the more vintage bikes could be found. I’m considering the cross check strongly but have a stro

Andrew may well have found his QB, but besides the Surlys and Somas he might want to consider an old road race bike from the 1970s (or earlier, or later if with long horizontals, long stays, reasonable hta and sta) -- if you can still find them; I hear there's a run on any good bike nowadays.

I've owned: - Cross Check (62 cm) - Quickbeam (64 cm) - BMC Monstercross (62 cm) - Soma Wolverine (62 cm) - Mercier Kilo WT (62 cm) (like a long reached Steamroller) - and too many others to list Honestly, among those six bikes, they all rode within a good day/bad day of each other. That is, no b

I’ve considered both the Fredward and cross check. I’m concerned the rides will be uninspiring. Maybe I’m wrong. Carla, what’s your experience? Any cross check lovers want to chime in? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To uns

I would say the Cross Check is more comparable to the QB. The Steamroller has quite a bit steeper geo. Eric On Saturday, May 30, 2020, Andrew Huston wrote: > I’ll add to this a 56 surly steamroller as another option. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

I'll add Handsome Fredward and I understand it's not a Riv. I have a ton of fun on mine. You can choose your color as well. I have never seen a QB or SO because I live in Ok. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

I’m 5’10” with a ~83cm pbh and am very happy on a 56cm SO. Just another data point, but I think the 54 would be too small given your dimensions. Not selling right now, but I’ll let you know if I change my mind! Hudson in ATX -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Googl
