Do any of you ride one and if so how do you like it? What size did you choose if you happen to be 5'9? Thanks

The Quickbeam is a Rivendell bike, and the sizing is DIFFERENT from most other bikes. In general you will take a larger cm number size Rivendell than you would take on other brands of bikes. Do not go by other bike brands that fit women of your same height, or you will wind up with a too-small Quickbeam (and possible knee problems).
Go here to the Rivendell site and follow the size measuring directions exactly to find YOUR correct Rivendell bike size:

For what it's worth...I am 5'5" with a 30" PBH, and I take a 54cm Rivendell frame size. Most people on other brand bikes would say that's "too big" a bike for my height- but it isn't!
