But anyway, the QuickBeam is a much, much better-designed and more versatile bike than the typical one just described.
The geometry is a moderate, all-around design, something of a "fire trail" geometry, as opposed to track geometry (too steep for road), or road geometry (too steep for trails) or mountain bike geometry (not fun on roads).
