If I remember correctly they did state in the Blug that "a few" of the Blue Lug singlespeeders (Senor Frank Jones, I think) would likely be available in the US but not to expect any tall ones. The Rosco Roads have Simpleone forks and the same clearances as QB/Simpleone but not the long track ends... you could get around this by using two chainrings with the same tooth difference as a Dos Eno freewheel which keeps the wheel position the same in either ratio. I've done this with my Milwaukee Orange One singlespeed using 42/44 rings and 17/19 dos eno (42x19 or 44x17)
