I am selling my wonderful RBW Simpleone that Cycle Monkey converted for me from a single speed bicycle to a Rohloff Speedhub driven bike with 14 spaced separated gears. I had seen that Cycle Monkey had made a similar conversion for another Simpleone owner. Since I first learned of Rohloff, I was fascinated by the Speedhub. It’s truly a marvel of German engineering: https://www.rohloff.de/en/. I knew that world tourers commonly ride bikes with Speedhubs because they are bullet-proof. I had always had as a cycling goal to ride the Great Allegheny Passage/C&O Canal paths for years, which seemed like a perfect reason to convert my Simpleone. I did, I rode, I had an amazing time, I never looked back.
I’m probably not going on another long tour again soon, if ever. The GAP/C&O were about 350 miles and it took me a year and a half to prepare. Day rides and S24Os are now my main cycling pleasures so I’m offering up my Rohloff Simpleone. Here’s a Rivendell Blug link about the Simpleone: https://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/2349569449/simpleone-update-december-17-2010 Here’s a Cycle Monky link about the conversion: https://www.cyclemonkey.com/blog/rohloff-equipped-rivendell-simpleone My Simpleone is in near perfect condition. You can find several photos here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13V_EPZ_RttiEHXfQsV7iib51JaOx7jLn?usp=sharing. I include a couple of photos that show some nicks but, really, nothing is hidden. The bike is fitted out with high-end components which are reflected in the price. I will consider any reasonable offer.
