Does anybody have the sizing options sorted/readily available for the Simple Ones & Quickbeams?

I've got a 60 but I'm really enjoying sizing my bikes UP, standover be damned....curious how they did the sizing on the larger sizes.

Assuming that Riv's sizing is center to top for these...

Thanks all!

I have a 86 or 88 PBH and own 58 cm Quickbeam but had a 60 cm Quickbeam. I prefer the 58 cm. The 60 cm worked but was in my junk if I straddled the top tube but that is probably the size Rivendell would have recommended.

Hi Alex,

Here’s a link to an old geo chart with SimpleOne details included.

I like a larger frame in the pre-long chain stay bikes. My PBH is 90, my QB is 66, and I love how it rides with bullmoose bars as a fixed cross bike.

With abandon,

I like your style, Deacon.  I'm an 89 pbh and I think I'm aiming at a 64 or 65 C-T frame ideally....looks like the Simple One topped out at 62....

Alex, did you grab that 60cm chassis+ that was listed a week ago?.. I kinda wanted it, but looks like I may end up with a 62 instead. I’ve a 89 PBH, so am often right on the bubble with Riv bikes. Once the 62 is here, I’ll see if I should attempt a trade for a 60.

I’m 5’-11 3/4” with 90 cm pbh and a 64 cm Quickbeam. The 64 seems like the max size for me. Currently set up with 48cm noodle bars level to saddle (78.5 cm saddle height).
