I can't add anything else in terms of their differences but do have a story. I bought a SimpleOne and when it showed up it was scratched. Rivendell took it back and as it was the only one left in my size they offered to paint it. It went off to the painter and is Hunqa green with cream details.

Sturmey Archer hubs come in 120mm spacing, perfect for the Quickbeam. I have an S3X three-speed fixed hub on mine, and I've run an 8-speed SA hub as well. It's an easy conversion (once you get the wheel built) that doesn't involve changing the spacing of the dropouts. --Eric Norris On Jan 3, 2
