I had both (the SimpleOne has since decamped to D.C., as my son's commuter). If I rode them back to back, the QB felt a tad quicker/lighter on its feet, the SO a bit more laid-back and comfy. SO had 38mm Marathons, QB Jack Brown Greens, which probably accounted for most of the difference. SO was built up with heavier parts, too. But really, much more similar than different.
Both are wonderful bikes - the QB is STILL my favorite of all my bikes (including my Homer, Atlantis, Rohloff Bomba, and Proto-App Mystery Bike). It's the ultimate "jump on and go."

I believe my SO was one of the (if not THE) last one(s)... It has beautiful paint, but no creme headtube (all green). It has canti studs, too. It's PERFECT. Tom Allingham has a QB and SO...

It still wouldn't be low enough for some of the hills around here. I am pretty sure I would get hooked on it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
