Subject: I know there's a Felt Mafia, but is there any Quintana Roo Love here?

I picked up a new (to me) bike last weekend.  I found a 2005 Quintana Roo Lucero XS on eBay, did some haggling with the seller, and made a deal we were both happy with.

Of course, being that she was a she, she had covered the bike in pink stuff, so all that had to be replaced, as I'm not fast enough to get away with riding a pink accented bike.  I also cleaned it up, tuned/adjusted everything, and did a rudimentary self-fit that feels pretty decent.

I took it out for a short ride this morning.  It's pretty fast.  I also can't get over how much of a difference the aero stuff makes over my road bike.

Congrats on the new bike!!!  I've got a HIM in 2 weeks, then I'm going to build up my new QR Seduza so that I can get it dialed in before IM Florida.  Can't wait!

That's a good looking ride. Congratulations. I nearly bought a QR when I was tri bike shopping.

Many congratulations on the new bike! No worries, there's lots of QR love here!



I'm a huge fan of my CD 0.1, and love to ride it!

Pretty enough that I made the newspaper at IM Muncie


I just finished the build on my newest bike, another ABG bike, which may end up as my Ironman Louisville ride this year:

I bought a QR Kilo on ebay 18 months ago. I love it. Congrats on the new bike. I liked the pink, but the red makes it look faster.

We love our QR's.  My first tribike was a Tequilo.  My wife loved it too so it became hers.  I then picked up a Lucero which she loved even more so the Tequilo went to my daughter.  My current bike is a newer Lucero and it is very fast.  Yes, lots of QR love here.

More QR love here!!  I have a 2008 Chiqilo (now my trainer bike) and a brand new 2012 Cd0.1 that I got this past October.  I LOVE QR .  And, I really like the Lucero you just got, too!!

My first tri bike was a QR Caliente, even picked it up with 404's.  Now its my permanent trainer bike.  My buddy tried to buy it from me for a year until he realized there was no way I was giving it up.  Now he's part of the Felt Mafia.

I used to have the same bike (albeit slightly larger and with no pink accents). Great bike! I was fitted on it and honestly, the fitter didn't do a great job... put me in a position that was lightly too aggressive which was fine for short TT's, but anything longer and I didn't feel great getting off the bike. The bike itself is amazing though.

Fast forward about 2 years and a good friend was looking to get a tri bike and she's slightly shorter than me and we knew from her fit #'s that my QR Lucero would work very well for her. And did it ever! She won her AG in the Sprint World Championships in Auckland (NZ) last year with, by far, the best bike split in her AG.

Will have to get updated pics of my Seduza once I get the race wheels on her.  My first was a 1998 Tequilo and then upgrade to my current 2008 Seduza.  Hope to someday upgrade to a CD0.1

Sorry I am late to the party but I have always liked QR so when I was looking for a tri-bike I was glad to find a 2006 Caliente that was only ridden in races (350 miles total) from 2006-2008 and then sat in storage. I think it still looks pretty good but I do like you lucero with the red accents. It is "caliente" too.

It now has pnk QR decals on the wheels, too. They were on backorder at the time, but they are on there now!

Ooops, sorry, tried to add a pic, but it didn't work!!

Yay, got my Qroo from Nytro today. Great shop BTW, they spent as much time with me as I needed with the selection and fitting. Ended up getting a swimsuit as well!

My first bike was a QR Private Reserve with Dura Ace and Ultegra components. Great bike that I shouldn't have sold. The only thing that sucks is the 650 wheels. Just need to take two tubes since most others will probably have 700c tubes.

IMO this is one of the best deals out right now for a full carbon bike!

This womens design is IMO one of the coolest bikes ever built too (not my bike though)....

I also have a QR wet suit, and had a QR temp tatt at IMLP in the hopes of winning some swag. I didn't.,

I love my Seduza, named "Jezebel".  She's a little high maintenance, but she's a wild ride!  Since this pic, I have taken off the third water bottle and attached the tube and CO2 inflator and cartridge directly to the Hydrotail.
