[RBW] FS: SimpleOne 58cm

[J Schwartz]

This one hurts.  I know I'm gonna regret selling this bike...but I'm not 
riding it too much lately and just converted my Hillborne to a 2 speed with 
a Paul Melvin...and need to continue to shed a few bikes.
I bought this as a frameset from Rivendell when they were released, back in 
2012 or so.
I recently had the bike repainted by Bilenky .  They also did a small dent 
repair in the downtube.
They repainted the bike the same slimy green but with a cream head tube. 
 They also did all the little windows and fork wings in cream.
It's a 58cm and a special bike.  It's been set up as a kind of trail 
scorcher.  I've ridden it a lot on the rail trails here in the Hudson 
Valley.  It's got a 6 tooth spread on the crank chainrings and 700x43cm 
Bruce Gordon tires,   Also a White Industries 20T green freewheel.
I've mostly ridden it in the big (middle) chainring and really have only 
manually shifted it for some long monster climbs, on pavement.  Wheels are 
Synergy 32h laced to high polish hi-flange Paul hubs.  I recently changed 
the hubs from quick release to the fancy hex nuts and washers and keep 2 
hex wrenches attached to the seat stays with super magnets for fast rear 
axle adjustments on the road.
While the paint is relatively new and it's not had a lot of use since being 
repainted, there are a few chips here and there.  The only one that is of 
note is a scrape on the bottom of the downtube (facing the road, so you 
can't see it) that happened when I dropped a pedal wrench when attaching 
pedals.
Other than that, on the rack braze-ons, there's a little paint 
scuffingand the rear dropouts of course. **Note, in the photo below , 
the rear dropouts looked more scuffed than they arethat's actually 
white grease that's showing up in the photo *

This bike is so good.  I had an orange Quickbeam in the same size (58) 
..they are essentially identical frames...but the SimpleOne is better.
The drivetrain on this bike is great.  It engages instantly ...not sure if 
that's due to the heavier duty White Industries green "trials 
" freewheel (more 
engagement points than the standard W.I. freewheels)...but it just clicks 
right it and feels like a single speed should.  Pedaling in reverse leads 
to no chain suck or chain slap or whatever that's called.  
The freewheel is 20t.  That may sound high, but it worked very well for my 
needs which included climbing on paths.  The front chainrings are 38 and 32 
(I believe).
Bars are Chocos upside down on a 10cm Tallux...with ESI grips and 
shellacked Newbaums on the curves.

quality bike shop (Riv dealer) in my hometown.

Here are some quick iPhone pics.  PHOTOS 



In terms of "issues" , there really aren't any.  The aforementioned scrape 
on the bottom of the downtube.there's a scrape in the Tallux stem from 
a Crane Bell that was on there for awhile.   The Clamp bolt in the stem is 
starting to strip out ...Should be replacedNew bolts 

 
can be purchased from Rivendell for $5.00.  There is a some slight zig zag 
on the sleeve of the Choco bars ...came to me that way from another list 
member.

Let me know if you have questions

John: that's a shame. What about one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Sturmey-Archer-S3X-3-speed-Fixie-Hub-Kit-Shifter-36h-130mm-Black-/172302215457

Or what about a second ring and different big cog: 42/16 and 32/26? Besides
the 71" regular gear, this gives you a 33" low.

I don't have a dog etc, but as an avid and long-time fixed-for-me, please
rider owning 2 custom Riv fixies, I hate to see a Riv SS sold.

[RBW] FS - SimpleOne 58cm

[John]

I recently moved to a home on a mountain (such as we call it in Alabama),

Seat Post: Nitto
Saddle: Brooks B17

Crank: Sugino 170mm
Pedals: MKS Touring
Chainring: Surly 42 tooth

in great shape overall. No dents in the tubes.

[RBW] FS: SimpleOne 58cm

[David Podboy]

Hi all,

I’m selling my SimpleOne 58cm. The bike is too small for me, and I’m 
getting ready to move, so I need to clear things out.

Bike is in great shape with some blemishes and scratches from use. The 
previous owner used some touch up paint that is close but not an exact 
match to the original paint. There are no dents or rust. I’ve tried to show 
the marks in the photos.

Pics: https://goo.gl/photos/gxPSVnVooDbTThhy8

Components:
Nitto Albatross
Nitto Dirtdrop stem, 80mm
Ergon GP1 Biokork grips
Shimano R550 Brake Levers
FSA Metropolis crankset with 45t chainring
18T Shimano freewheel on main side, 19T fixed on the flip side
Shimano CT91 cantilever brakes
MKS Touring Lite pedals
Mavic Open Sport rims
Schwalbe Delta Cruiser 700 x 35c tires
Bells
Kickstand
WTB Saddle

$1100 OBO (includes bike shop packing) + actual shipping costs.

I’d like to sell the bike complete, but let me know if you are interested 
in Frame/Fork/Headset/BB only.

Ships from Portland, OR. If you are near the Portland or Seattle areas, I’m 
happy to meet half way for pickup.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
David
