I am selling my 2006 Quintana Roo Tequilo. Please forward this along to anyone who might be interested. Below is a brief description from Slowtwitch:
This mid-$2000s price point is the sleeper in this year’s tri bike lineup, not just in QR’s product range, but throughout. This bike is as good an example as any. As stated, the frame has aero tubes, a rear wheel sneaked behind a seat tube cut out, horizontal rear-entry dropouts, aero seat tube and post, and the frame upgrade from the kilo is the carbon seatstay.
Old picture - included to show wheels that will be included, and to show frame without flower stickers.
Dual rear water bottle holder, frame cage, and aero drink/bracket are also included, if desired. Current seat is women's Ravx Athena seat. Will also include brand new profile design aero seat (black) if desired. Pedals not included.
Bike is currently undergoing a complete tuneup, and is in excellent condition. Fit by Shama Cycles will also be included.
TEQUILO
Here is another riddle: What is the second lowest priced bike in which one can find the "Big Four" frame features? (Well, big 3 1/2). Yup, it's this one, at $2300, and you get a fifth frame feature for the extra $400: a carbon rear-end.While carbon bikes that cost a thousand dollars more than the Tequilo are getting most of the press, this bike quietly sits at a price point roughly similar to Felt’s S22 and Cervelo’s P2 SL, and its mission pretty much mimics that of these other two aluminum bikes. Simply put, the Tequilo is a bike atop which you can ride, and not wonder if you’re giving any time up.

The groupset revolves around Dura Ace and Ultegra, including chain and cassette. The cranks are FSA Carbon Pro and the brakes are the only downspec on the bike, though these Tektros work reasonably well. The wheels are Alex 270, and that’s fine with us (everybody ought to have several sets of sturdy, functional training wheels in their garage, and whatever comes on your bike out the door is no more than one of these wheelsets). The handlebars are by Visiontech, both the base bar and clip-ons.
Quintana Roo’s website says of the Tequilo, “Like a TiPhoon, crafted from aluminum,” and that about says it. If you want QR’s flagship bike at less than half its price, the Tequilo is it. It’s a Lexus with a Toyota hood ornament. Great value.
