I picked up the 58 this morning and they have the Quickbeam dropouts.
Now I have to decide which components to use for the build.

Anyone out there buy one of the Simples? They seem to be selling--
only the 62 left! I hope this means that demand is high and they will
begin taking pre-orders soon. I really want one but am gonna hold out
for the production.

I'm with you on most of that.I'd love a Simple One if the
tubing were thick enough (similar to the Hillborne) I have all the
parts for one except for the wheels. While not a fan of cantilever
brakes they would suffice. I also wouldn't mind something like a
Hilsen design, which if you ask me
Hmmm... the Aug28 SampleOne may or may not have the dropout, from my
reading of the text in the PDF. He was reviewing SimpleOnes generally,
not describing the one in the brochure per se. But in any case, I'm
not *sure* what the dropout is like on the 56 that's been for sale for
a while. I just reme
Not sure if the one on the site has the magic dropouts, but the
complete sample that came in a few weeks ago did.

I don't know if it's "wrong" or not... But IIRC and if I understand
the picture, it does not have the magic slanted rear dropout that
would enable truly simple rear gear changes (i.e. you would not need
to realign the rear brake after a change in tooth count).
Does anyone else remember it that way
The weekend bag was also packed with two Rapha shirts and touring
shorts and we spent a night at the new Westin in Napa. Where our
friends joined us for a night out at Morimoto's. So I didn't make out
too bad.
Spotted a couple of Atlantis' at the Oxbow farmers market too!
I still have the go ah
Hmm, curious minds want to know. Your wife went from trying to get you
a bike frame to a weekend travel bag? What did you do wrong? :)

I'm highly debating it, personally.
I'd love to have a Fixie Fop Chariot to go with my Bleriot. I'm not
sure if it's too small or not. And if I'd get slaughtered by bringing
a new bike home.

Just found out that my wife tried to pick it up for me for my birthday
last week. I got a weekend travel bag instead.
She knows my quest for a 58cm Quickbeam well.

I've seen it up close and nothing's wrong with it. It's a real beaut',
and much better looking live than in that photo. I think they haven't
pushed it much so maybe not enough people are aware of it. Or maybe
there just aren't any single speeders looking for a 56cm frame right
now. If you're tempte
