The 40 mile round trip is a great weekend ride on the SimpleOne. The next time out I'll try the ride fixed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/livepake/5358492435/in/set-7215762570745... The only problem that I have with the SO is so much fun that my new Ebisu is being neglected. I picked up a Nitto front rack and Viyella Shirt with the RBW credit a Christmas gift certificate. My wife says the shirt makes me look 10 lbs. lighter. It is a great fitting looking shirt and may pick up a couple more when they're back in stock. Here's the SO's breakdown: 58cm Prototype Phil Wood Rims Velocity Synergy Jack Brown Blues Brooks B17 Prototype Nitto Handlebar (I'm not sure which Model) Shimano Brake Levers 16/19 White Industries Freewheel 17/19 Surly Dingle Cog Fixed Sugino Crank 44T/48T Shimano Seatpost Shimano Canti's Kool-Stop Brake Pads Thanks to everyone on this list for all of the great advice! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The simple, clean look is quite elegant. The color is classy. I'm interested in a comparison with your Ebisu. Could you provide comments of your observations of similarities and differences? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: SimpleOne - RBW Visit
Thanks. As far as a comparison - I'm probably not the best one to give a very detailed opinion. I like both bikes and really just wished I had more time to ride. I've ridden the SO the most and have it dialed in for comfort. I really can't explain it but the bike just feels right. The Ebisu has seen mutliple 40 mile rides but I haven't touched the setup outside of the saddle height since I picked it up from Jitensha. I'll start to dial the Ebisu in the next couple of weeks and I'm sure it will be just as comfortable. As far as responsiveness, quickness, riding position, etc. I'm sure there are differences in both bikes but I'm just not that tuned into them. Sorry I couldn't help much but maybe some of the other guys with the Quickbeam/ Ebisu combo can comment.
