[RBW] Quickbeam or Simpleone alternative
Some years ago between the penultimate and last batch of quickbeams, I made a faux beam. My problem was that until that last silver batch, there wasn't one small enough for me. I procured a proto bleriot frame in my size and had rich build a rear wheel with a White Industries eccentric ENO hub with their 19/17 double cog. It doesn't have granny up front but for my riding (mostly urban and winter urban) it's simply fantastic. So if you want a Riv for this ride, that's a possibility. Otherwise put the word out here on the list. You could get lucky like my partner did! Best of luck RCW -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Quickbeam or Simpleone alternative
Since Riv no longer sells these bikes, what are good options for an alternative? Single speed, 38-45 tires with fenders, etc...

Re: [RBW] Quickbeam or Simpleone alternative
I would probably go for the Black Mountain Cycles Monstercross. Similar to a Surly Cross Check (I could shift a six tooth cog difference with the long dropouts on my CC), but the slightly sloping top tube allows for quite a bit taller head tube. I think the forward facing horizontal dropouts on either the BMC or the CC would be quite a bit easier to use than the track ends on the Quickbeam.
