I've ridden 2x2 fixed for touring since 2007 - first an IRO Rob Roy
and now a Simple One. I've done cross country and some significant
tours on both coasts with this setup.
I'm a fan of the widest spaced Surly Dingle (17/21) and when using it
I match the tooth difference on a double up front
Bruce,
Thanks for jumping in! I've noodled getting some Rock 'n Roads for my
SimpleOne for messing around in the dirt. I've been under the
impression that SimpleOnes have more clearance than most/all of the
earlier-though-related Quickbeam frames. Mine at least seems to have
clearance for miles.
Justin,
Marathon Supremes would be my personal rec. after trying them on my
SimpleOne. The 42-622/700x40C model left room for fenders when mounted
on Open Pros - though I never did install fenders with them. They're
495g each, but designed to be as little tank-y as a Schwalbe tire that
will last
Rene,
I don't have much to add, but thank you for sharing the details of you
experience with the fork conversions on the Atlantis and Hunq. I know
how much work goes into properly documenting this kind of project, and
I think it's a wonderful contribution for all of us onlookers!
Best,
Colin,
I could have missed something, but I assumed Garth was referencing the
fact that at least some of the Mystery Bikes didn't have drilled
chainstay bridges. Ex. from Tom Allingham:

I'd expect the production models will be drilled.
I'm in that camp. If I were to get a custom, I'd ask the builder to
pick the color.

Ha! Took me a moment with your custom -- thanks for the laugh.
Happy new year everyone!

I don't know if the thinking at Rivendell has changed, but Grant's
original vision for this storied frame was free of a front derailer:
[It's] basically a flat-to-rolling land bike that, by virtue of its
superlong top tube (62.5cm on this 54.3cm frame), locks you into a
sweeepyback bar. That
Single-speeds, three-speeds, IGHs of all kinds, 1xXs, etc., all prove
there are markets for bikes without a front derailer (infact, many
different markets). In comparison to many common limitations on bikes,
not having a front derailer is hardly radical:
MCRBs that can't fit tires wider that 23mm
Great news! Excited to see both come into the world.

Cork grips for me -- small diameter grips don't feel right with
swept-bar bars. Wrap the front bends with tape if you want the hand
positions (excluding the brake-lever-clamp-between-the fingers,
because the cork and tape are different diameters).

Grant/Riv may reject some of #2, but it's got to be weird because the
bikes I like are road-ish Riv bike -- the functional overlap of my
current bikes is already enormous!

I'll second these suggestions and throw in the Schlumpf counterpart to the
Metropolis/Patterson: http://www.schlumpf.ch/hp/schlumpf/antriebe_engl.htm
And, in case there is was any confusion, the S2 Duomatic kickshift doesn't
have a coaster brake, the S2C does.

Awesome!
If the FSA doesn't work out fixed, but you fall in love with the idea
of a two-speed fixed-gear, Schlumpf's cranks were redesigned a few
years ago to be fixed-gear compatible:

Thank you for the writeup Joan! I'm mostly a lurker on the list, but I
made it to the talk -- I was the guy in the blue shirt, red shorts,
and front-loaded SimpleOne. It was a great event. Many thanks to Larry
for putting it together, and to everyone who made the ride out.

I'm in DC, but my SimpleOne and I make regular trips around MD,
particularly to the Annapolis area.

It seems like Rivendell would benefit from using Kickstarter (or some

If I could commit $180 dollars or so to a Select version of the
