Mark, that's very generous of you. If none of our Riv brethren here go
after it, I may have to. I previously had a 62 SO in dark green that was a
tad too big, but surprisingly not that much bigger than my 58 cm QB, so the
60 cm SO may be the Goldilocks. Hmm

Heresy, but i have my Roadini set up as fixed with an eno eccentric, and it
is a GREAT ride as a fixed gear. Ron, Western Ma.

There's a 60cm SimpleOne frame on eBay right now located in Durham, NC. For
some reason the seller is not interested in shipping so it's local pickup only.
I'm in Raleigh and could help facilitate a pickup if you're interested in it.

I appreciated the comparison. I have a 58 cm Quickbeam that I am about to
list because I bought a BMC Monstercross in the most recent production
run. I have always wanted one, and I have not been reaching for the
Quickbeam much recently.

Brian,
That Trek/Crust conversion sounds awesome. Please post some pictures if
you're able. Also, does the Spark fork offer clearance for 650b x 48mm, no
fender? I believe the listing says something like perfect for 38-42mm
tires.
Thanks,

I'm currently working on a 1983 Trek 640 fixed 650b conversion. I'm using
the Crust Spark fork and Velocity Atlas rims, and 42mm Paselas. I had the
Quickbeam in mind with this build, but the low trail fork kinda makes it
not-Quickbeam-ish, but the canti bosses and rock mounts adds Riv-ish

+1 on the Kilo WT. I had one previously. The frame quality looked as good
as any other Taiwanese frame, and running it fixed helps negate the weak
braking from the long reach calipers.

Handsome Devil. It has a nice fork crown. The rest of the bike isn't
lugged but the welds are super smooth. The higher bottom bracket would be
helpful if you ran fixed gear. The tubing is way more stout than your
typical 80s Japanese bike though.

I think the old Le Tour III will have the 0.866 inch, or is it 0.886 inch
ID fork steer tube. I think that was up until about 1982. Others here will
have a better date range when Schwinn switched to 22.2 mm stem/steer tube
diameter. You can always shave down a Nitto stem to fit, particularly if
That's helpful Eric. Yeah, a CC would be great, but with a Le Tour for
$300 complete (inexpensive components, single speed) I can't justify
another $600 for the CC.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that lugged was a requirement. At least all of
these have a lugged fork!

For new, the Surly Cross Check is probably the closest competitor, but it's
up to $700 for the frameset now, or $950 complete.
The BMC Monstercross is like a CC with 0.1mm thinner tubing and worse cable
routing. It's a few hundred more for the frameset.
I've had both of these frame, and a QB, and
I have wanted a quick beam for a while now but the cost of a 3rd rivendell
is holding me back, so I'm looking for a similar frame. Anyone have any
suggestions on a steel, lugged, horizontal dropout (front or rear facing),
fairly large wheel diameter bike? One I could get for $500 max?? I have
