Just loving the ride of my Simple One! I took my daughter on a local
ride and we had a great time. Sorry no photos of it (next time). If
any of you are riding the fence on a Simple One just get it, its a
great bicycle.

I have to admit I like those simple ones. I think I'd really like it in maroon . If I didn't already have 2 rivendells one of which is green and my  resurrected Peugeot PX10 as a single-speed I'd be tempted:)

You know what would be awesome: a derailleurless Rivendell frame just like the Simpleone but with 135 rear spacing and some cable stops that make it ready to handle this in 11:

Yea I get the whole IGH thing but I haven't found the four speed/ soon
to be five ratios limiting. My normal road gear is 66" my headwind
hill climber is a 51" and I will be getting a 22 tooth freewheel for
the flip side giving me a 44". Any steeper than that and I just get
off and hike a little. I coast downhill and let let my legs rest for
climbing. I climb faster now but my overall times are the same. I just
put out effort in intervals now....which is better for me I think. The
whole derailleurless bicycle is kind of weird in a way but I don't
miss not having more or wider gearing. I do appreciate my geared
bicycle when I ride it.....however the Simple One is just different
and I see no need to change it.

James, you could order a custom Rivendell and spec it with 135mm horizontal dropouts.  I did that with my custom all-rounder.  Every once in a while, I swap out all the parts to make it a single. However, I like your idea... so much so, I came up with something to satisfy that itch: Linky Link Here

It was fitting that when it came time for paint, I picked a color very similar to a little something else that I once owned.  I miss the simplicity of my old Quickbeam and find myself drawn to the idea of a Simple One.

[Roger]

Many Sturmey Archer IGH's are designed around the traditional oln of
120mm, making them easy to swap in to bikes like the Quickbeam. In a
few minutes time one could change out a single speed rear wheel with
an SA RF8 8-speed wheel/cable/shifter unit.

The cable stop attaches to the hub assembly and the whole thing can go
and off as a unit. I use a couple of zip ties to secure the cable to
the down tube for easy removal. It looks like the new Jtek shifter
would be a great, if pricey, way to use a barend for those (like me)
who don't like grip shifters.

The new 3-speed fixed comes with a barend, and a duomatic kickback
wouldn't even need a cable.
