In September of 2022, when I was showing off my 58 Quickbeam build, you stated explicitly that you have a 58 Simple One, and implied that you also own a 58 Quickbeam.  What's happened since then?  Are you growing your collection of singlespeeds?  Or did you sell things and regret it?  I'm definitely in the "growing my collection of singlespeeds" phase.  Since adding a 58 Quickbeam last fall, I've already added another singlespeed and have built 4 different 120mm rear wheels for the various build configurations.

You are correct, Bill, that I have owned both QB and SO.  However the SO was a 56cm and I could never really dial it in to my liking and when I came close, the aesthetic was off, to me.  I ended up selling the SO, but maintained the wheelset as they were brand new and I could potentially use the with my qb. but I find that the current QB wheelset is perfect and I don't anticipate using the second set as a replacement, there is just too much similarity.  Now I'm also sitting on a credit for waltworks and don't have the need as it was for a fork for my evasion lite, which I have since sold.  I was thinking I would have Walt add s&s couplers to a bike that could be used for my packraft adventures.  A bike like the QB or Simple One would be ideal so I can use the wheels and other parts I already have handy and have a unique and ideal tool for said adventures.

This being said, I should probably sell the brand new Hands on Wheels, Rich built 700c atlas wheels with Phil track hubs and 16/19 dos with gravel king rubber and see if I can't find someone to buy the 275.00 credit for like $150.00 and just deal with a little more tear down when I load my bike on my raft.

If anyone is interested in either, let me know... or hurry and sell me a 58 QB.... not a super fan of the simple one, to me graphics, manufacture location, head badge and name of said bike is important to me.

Cheers,

Jason

I wish I was holding a 650b wheelset, then I would go with a lightning bolt...

Edit: I'm sitting on a 700c Velocity Dyad (not atlas) with Phil track f/f hub ad WI Dos 16/19.  The problem which started this wtb was "what to do with them"... as.I type this out it dawned on me to consider the roaduno... It needs to handle gravel and dirt roads "good enough" as that's the primary but it doesn't need to be Gravel specific.... Time to do a little R1 research.....

thinking..
