They both sound like great bikes, but I think Rivendell was late to the single-speed party. The Quickbeam copy says something about single-speed riders getting tired of their bikes and the QB being a better alternative to single-speeds. Then, a few years later, comes the Simple One. I think the slanted rear dropout is pretty brilliant, but there are lots more single-sppeds out there now than when the QB came out. So the Simple One has lots of competition, and not just on price — the aesthetics of some of them are nice as well. --Tom
