Thanks! I think the real deep philosophical question is: can I call it a
tourer before it's been taken touring? How long of a tour counts as
touring? From a pure 'naming' or 'categorization' perspective, there is
such a thing as a touring bike. That generally accepted "touring bike" is
a
Not a touring bike, nor a one day build, but a super cool fixed gear over
on the Radavist. Riv content, the cut down Choco bars really contribute to
the vintage look...

Well...she not he actually...I see what you mean, and when you talk about
bikes , you are usually crystal-clear. Thanks for answering. I always enjoy
looking at your bikes and reading your posts about bikes and riding in
general

“Dodecaspeed” has a nice ring to it.

Yeah, I find it convenient to use the term "singlespeed"
Well that Vanilla is certainly pretty (and pricey). Neat build Bill; love
the tape job and gold Pearl stem. You have quite the parts stash. But I
have a question. How is your bike a single-speed when you have options for

Bill, I love the design constraints (one-day build, single-speed touring,
AND low cost). About 4 years ago, motivated by my Quickbeam's setup of
"One Speed, One Cog, One God" (exactly, Patrick :) -- but needing
significantly more luggage capacity than a Quickbeam for living car-free --
I did
I had a chromed Soma Rush with a similar gear setup (two chainrings up
front and two cogs on a road wheelset). That was a wickedly fun bike to
mess around on and my first steps into non-conventional builds. Shoulda
kept it but at least it paid for our first couch.

hey bill looks great, and the pre-scratch & dent frames can be a little
liberating, but even with the parts bin build, a quickbeam is always gonna
look great!

That's an interesting project. The Puritan in me insists on "One Ring One
Cog One God" (and no g-d freewheel) as an old t-shirt from the fixie fad
era proclaimed, but I also have worked up devious ways to have my
single-fixed gear cake and multiple gear options to eat too.
As to the contest, best
Nice, Bill!
the build looks great! I hope you enjoy the Ent as mush as I have mine!

The build concept was a single speed tourer. Whether or not you can
imagine using it in a particularly steep hilly area is not part of the
challenge. Tour on it someplace
Very nice Bill, still can’t imagine touring with any load with such
limited gearing in my neck of the woods but if it works for you, enjoy.
What model is the rear rack, and any special attachments for the panniers

A while back I posted a WTB for a 58cm Quickbeam. I finally found a
frameset/wheelset on a trade. It had all been ridden pretty hard as a
commuter, and that pre-installed beausage kind of liberated me from some of
the usual perfectionist tendencies that I have with my builds.
