I agree. I have an 88.5 PBH and rode a 60 QB comfortably, but there was a 
noticeable difference in top tube clearance between 33's and 40's.

89.5 PBH and I own a 62 cm SimpleOne. I love this bike and the fit is 
PERFECT for me, but it is still in it's mangled state from a crash last 
year. One day I hope to either repair or replace it.

I have an 89cm PBH anfd Grant has put me on a 61.5cm road bike. I am 
surprised he recommended a 61cm for you. Anyway I chose a 60cm Q for 
possible off-road riding. I have not found the lower TT to help or hinder 
when off-road. For one thing, this bike probably won't be used in the 
gnarliest (technical single track) off-road riding. Anyway I wish I had 
bought the 62cm. Here is what my seatpost and stem height look like with 
89.2cm PBH.

[S. Greco]

As a Simpleone owner who has had both a 62 and 60 I will say that you 
should seriously consider tire size before picking one if you are between 
sizes. The 62 would probably be no problem if you are running tires similar 
to that of your Roadeo - but if you plan on taking advantage of the 
generous clearance on the Simpleone you might find yourself wishing you had 
gone with the smaller frame. A set of 40c-ish tires are going to raise the 
top tube, and generally the larger tire / trail riding set up makes you 
want the opposite - a lower top tube.

If you're anywhere near Rhode Island you can ride mine . . . 
It's also still for sale : )

Where are you? You might be able to find a Quickbeam or SimpleOne owner who 
will let you take a test ride. If you're near NYC, you're welcome to try my 
62.
I'm around a 90pbh and my QB rides great...although it doesn't have much 
seatpost showing. I like the way frame on the large side ride. And I seem 
to have long arms/torso, so big frames keep me from having to use really 
long stems.

thanks for the great responses as always. i saw that simpleone on eBay a 
week ago...it looks from the photos like it may in fact be a 62, but i may 
be mistaken. now i just have to figure out if i want to rent a car and go 
down to pick it up!

I'd go with a 62 minimum.  I'm 6'0 with a 90cm pbh and ride a 64cm 
quickbeam, it's the one (most fun) bike I use for riding singletrack. I'm 
sure I could ride a 66 like Patrick.

[Deacon Patrick]

My PBH is 90 and I ride a 66 Quickbeam, but I'm weird that way. If you 
have/find the geometry charts, that's a great way to compare a frame you 
know to one you're considering. I got the 66 QB because I love my 62 
Hunqapillar and it is the comparable size.

QB's are great, and well worth hunting down! Fantastic to ride.

With abandon,
Patrick
