Doing a search on Cyclofiend, I find that the Silver QB was the last of run (2009) by Panasonic in Japan. The SimpleOne was a Taiwan built. I'm not sure if this could or should increase my enthusiasm. ------- Grant said this about the bikes: -- Made in Taiwan by our Sam-maker. Hand-brazed. QB was Japan. Quality in this case is every bit as good, at least. -- Geometry is nearly identical. -- Same braze-ons plus a kickstand plate. -- Same tire/fender clearance (for 40mm with fender, or 44 without) Methinks it´s purely a question of looks, no difference in enthusiasm required. The difference in name is as long as I understand just not wanting the name pass to another maker. You may ask "why not", but Riv takes great pleasure in new names and headbadges.
