Simpleone is canti as well. Earlier info before it was released suggested it
was going to be long reach calipers, but it ended up being built with canti
brakes.

I'm partial to canti-brakes since I bought my first Stumpjumper back in '82
(I had two more in the '90's), so I'm glad to have a QB. It's a blast to
ride! I've started a job near BWI airport and I'm planning to ride the BWI
and B trails with it next week. May have to up the chain ring or size
Blast for the past but I'm somewhat interested in a simpleone or a quickbeam if
anyone has one in 54

I would love to try a Quick or Simple. But I'd need some low gearing like
34t up front. It still wouldn't be low enough for some of the hills around
here.
I am pretty sure I would get hooked on it.

I believe my SO was one of the (if not THE) last one(s)... It has beautiful
paint, but no creme headtube (all green). It has canti studs, too. It's
PERFECT.
Tom Allingham has a QB and SO... What say ye, Tom?

Not sure what you think it means ;-) but it's a 60cm Sam with sidepull
brakes and a single top tube.
There was a thread a couple of months ago where some of us were trying to
decipher all the various versions of Sam that are/were available.
I have a few not-so-great flickr photos
Single refers to top tube; sorry, I thought it might refer to a single

All this talk of buying an $800 single-speed frame for its versatility in
being able to be converted to a multi-geared derailleur bike is humorous to
me. Everything about such a conversion on that frame would be a suboptimal
hack. I think it would make a pretty nice single-speed.

Thanks, Jason. That's the best side-by-side comparison I've seen of
the Quickbeam vs the SimpleOne. For my part, the tangible differences
are a wash. I prefer the the SO's color and clearance, and my green
QB's lighter tubing and lack of doo-dads. I like the QB color, I just
like muddier colors
Great looking bike! And you're right -- at $800 it's a very good buy. If I
didn't have a QB, I'd be getting a SO.

You could use an old 120mm 5-speed, which can still be found.

Phil Wood freewheel hubs can be ordered with 120mm end caps for 5 speed use.
You can then buy new end caps to make the hub 130mm, a handy hub
for bob bikes.
Now is someone could put Suntour freewheels back into production we'd

So far, so good with the S3X. I have this hub on two different bikes, and both
are working fine. The only issue so far is that the hubs don't like to shift
under a load. If you're already grinding up a hill, it's too late to shift
(unless you can somehow soft pedal for a moment). Other than

I think the tubing is a tad thicker which for me is good. (.9x.6x.9 as
opposed to .8x.5x.8) I love mine, it rides really nice and the paint
is understated and woodsy lookingperfect for a bicycle. Only $800
for the frame is a swingin deal. This frame can easily be used with a
