    SOLD - Quest Q559 - $700 - Boulder, CO

    On reading Craigslist advertisement more closely.. This person has obviously spent quite a bit of energy trying to make this bike fit! Regarding the boom length for shorter riders I have responded and share in case either of these thoughts can solve this challenge. I've put the full details...

    SOLD - Quest Q559 - $700 - Boulder, CO

    From Craigslist: Disc brakes Rear suspension Two sets of cranks I have for it are 2 or 3 chainrings for 18 or 27 gears. 26" wheels make it RTD/Hop friendly! I modified this bike to accommodate my short height (5'0") by putting on a shorter stem, shorter cranks, a shorter boom (the adjustable...

    QX100 Steering Mod

    I wonder how much of the flex you formerly experienced was due to flex in the following -seat tube used as boom -seat tube connector - I would almost call this two joints by itself -extended quill (is that what it is called?) -adjustable stem -extra pivot point (already identified) as opposed...

    Cruzbike Sofrider - $800 (Otis, MA)

    Not mine. But here is a 1000 word essay on that bike, the picture from the craigslist, to whet your appetite (pun intended): The wording on the advert is flagrantly copied off cruzbike promotional material... anything that gets the word out.

    New S 40 build

    Hi Joy, In comparison did you ever try any of the Silvio / Quest / QX100 on the same hill? Are you able to compare steep slope traction between them? How did you have them set up? A weird thing but I am curious if you put weight in the panniers if that would have an effect. I seem to have...

    559/700cc build...finally ridable

    Sorry to re-open an old post but I can find several references to turbo Quest with some pretty exciting teasers but I can't find any pictures (lost to former website maybe?). As for specs, is the main change from Quest 559 to be found in the increased size of 700c wheels? Thanks for any...

    T50 - The Parts Piddle Thread

    I have seen a solution to the gap collecting dirt: cut an inch long piece of old inner tube and install that on the bottom of the head tube before putting in the fork then fold it down over the bottom fork bearings so that it forms a sleeve that covers the bearings and gap. That should keep out...

    GONE - Sofrider - $50 - Northport, NY

    It is probably prohibitive for me to purchase this due to shipping costs, however I contacted the seller about the front fork and his response was: "The only visible damage is to the front wheel, and the front forks are damaged. Other than that it looks ok. The back looks fine." and "I sent a...
