WTB: 58cm Quickbeam/SimpleOne (or others?)

[Tully Lanter]

I briefly looked for a Quickbeam/SimpleOne over the winter to no avail (turns out I was seeking the wrong size anyhow)...but now it's time to resume the search!

Seeking a 58cm frame (5'10" with 85-86cm PBH) and am OK with complete bikes, partial builds, or just F/F/HS. Shipping would be to the Seattle area. 

I realize the QB/SO are hard to find these days and am open to a chain tensioner on some other lighter-duty Riv model. Canti mounts and clearance for 35mm tires with fenders are the only must-haves.

I have an "other".  It's a 58cm custom Gunnar singlespeed, that the original owner spec'd to copy the geometry of a Hillborne.  Let me know if you want to talk about it.

Here is a flickr album with lots of photos of my original build.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/albums/72157642798847383

I offered the current complete recently for the price of a Frank Jones, $1575.  I could sell frameset, frameset plus wheels, complete, lots of options.  Let me know if you want to discuss it.

Thanks, Bill. I'm planning to stick with canti/v brakes (probably the latter)...but much appreciated!

Paul's rosco bubbe frame, for sale below, is the right size and has horizontal dropouts...

Very cool. Not familiar with that model so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

There's a quickbeam, 58 cm, on Ebay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rivendell-Quickbeam-58cm-Green-Single-Speed-Road-Bike-with-Dura-Ace-Nitto/273333253803?hash=item3fa3ee76ab:g:QxcAAOSwSkxbOZNF

Headtube looks pretty short for a 58cm Quickbeam. It appears to be measured center to top. I'm not sure what actual size that equates to.

Interesting observation on the head tube, John. I wouldn't have caught that. 

I actually just purchased one from a list member, and should be up and running in the near future. Ride pics and a new (old) bike day post to follow, naturally...

Thanks!
