I've got a 650b-wheeled Quickbeam (just for reference) and I live in a pretty flat area. I found the 32-tooth ring unusably small so I replaced the triple crank with a double and got rid of the chain guard. (it's on my 1X9 Kogswell Kommuter now) I'm running a 38/40 up front, with a 17-19 dos enos freewheel on one side and a 16 fixed cog on the other. I find the 38-19 a good relaxed/recovery or dirt road gear and the 40/17 good for a feelin' strong day. The fixed I don't use much but when the mood hits me it's good to know it's there...
