Having recently busted the crank on my Quickbeam I’ve been sort of stymied on what to do about it. Unfortunately Rivendell Bicycle Works is out of the replacement part and, while I probably could order the set elsewhere they have great price and I like doing business with them.
But still…I hate having that bike down.
Today I was reading the RBW mailing list and lo and behold there’s a slightly different model set offered at a great price. Admittedly it’s lightly used, no problem, and doesn’t have quite the chain ring tooth count, but its’ close and fits on the bottom bracket I already have.

Now I just have to wait for it to arrive!
Aloha.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
