I procrastinated a bit then decided to part with the Surly which I can always replace and which I would have bought bigger if I had to do it over. Lots of love on the list for QBs so I've been intrigued and know I won't be upside down in it if I don't like it. It'll immediately get a CC build

Copy that. I must've had a first-run Orange then. Mine had Mavics and I still have the front wheel, on which I just busted the axel recently... No fault of Riv/Suzue -- it was in a wonky fork for a while (Legolas actually) -- that has since been straightened. Those QBs are fun bikes. I sold

When I bought mine, Riv offered me my choice of bars -- noodle, mustache or albatross. I chose mustache. My rims were Mavic but it wouldn't surprise me if they used Araya also at some point. Are you looking for authenticity? On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 11:38 AM, tragicallyaverage daban...@gmail.com

The 32h Suzues laced to Arayas are indeed the original Riv build. My green Quickbeem had them also. Marc From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] on behalf of tragicallyaverage [daban...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August

Yes, sounds exactly like my green stock QB from 2004. Front wheel's been very good. Rear was destroyed in a collision with a car, and I have since replaced it so I can't report much about the rear. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 28, 2012, at 5:32 PM, frank_a fk...@aol.com wrote: First run greens
