Just throwing a line out there, trade my 56cm Bombadil and wheelset for
your 58 Hunq and wheels. At 87pbh I have ridden the 54 but I need the
longer TT of the 58. Newer version preferred, I like the green pain scheme.

Hi,
I am in the market for a 58cm quickbeam or simpleone frameset no preference
as to which. Condition say 8 out of 10 or better...scratches and scrapes

right. Please contact me off list or call or txt at 909 910-7424.
I just ordered a set of those VO jockey wheels to see if I can get them to
work on 70's era Simplex rear der. I have a number of them with worn
jockey wheels so fingers crossed, worth a flyer for $10.

I liked the right angle aspect of it. Larger u-locks can invite the car

The same thing happened to me, alas, but on the right side, too.
BUT: I was surprised to find in my stash a right side Silver shifter
complete EXCEPT for the little spring/prong/pawl that slides up against the
ratchets. If you still have that little thing you are welcome to the rest

I have a Sam, and i'd vote for the Cheviot. I use a QB (sorry 60cm :) ) as
a general cruiser and the high top tube is a pain sometimes with a lot of
things in the basket.
The Sam would work fine, but the Cheviot is more practical to me.

Hi DS,
Since you've got a Hunqapillar and a go-fast-ish, I also vote for the
Cheviot. I'm also curious about the ride having those lng chain stays.
You could wait for the Clem, Appaloosa, etc.,... but who knows when/if

I went Cheviot for just those purposes. Actually for rear-mounted child
seat but the ability to stand without worry is a big plus in either child
seat scenario. Also figured that a step-through frame would be a bonus as
the years go by. And the Cheviot is still a great bike for trails and S24Os.
Step-throughs are really great. Can't say enough good things about them!

Cheviot. Three reasons:
1) long chainstays give you great pannier clearance.
2) the second set of seat stays = really strong rear triangle = great for
cargo trailers.
3) mixte bikes are less attractive to thieves.

Thinking about it for a bit, the only drawback to the Cheviot is the lack
