for the production frames.

I'm running the ENO Double/Double (39/36 and 16/19). I've mostly used the
39/16 everywhere. I've not tried to cross-thread the pair front to back -
don't really see how 39/19 or 36/16 would be more useful than just dropping to
36/19 when necessary.
The taller gear setup is just fine for flat
There are no freewheels smaller than 15 teeth and even those are hard
to findyou may need to up your chain rings or go with a fixed gear
but then you will need a perfect chain line and some form of
attachment to the pedals to be safe. I'd just switch to a 39x42 chain
ring set up or more, if
My Simple One.just love it. I used some scrounged parts also.

Green was the original Q color.
There was some gnashing of teeth when the orange color was
introduced.
No matter the color, its a fun bike.
I have been commuting on it this spring.
You must have a track SuperbePro.
I have only seen 130bcd Superbe.

The orange is great, but the original green color has always looked
perfect for the Quickbeam in my
Well it sure is easier to get a Testors color match at my local hobby
shop with the original green color that's for sure. I like the new
color bettermore subdued and elegant. Less tractor like, not that
I have anything against tractors. Still not sure what color is a good
match off the Testors
Like the Quickbeam, the Simpleone is designed with dropouts that will
manage a difference of 8 teeth. 40/19 to 32/16 is 11 teeth, so you
can't get all four ratios from that set-up. In practice, I rarely
shift my QB. I've thought of making it one chainring/one cog, but
knowing that I have the
I shift my QB from time to time (usually once on my way to work), but
if I'm going to shift, I'm more likely to go from 40/16 to 32/19, or
to 32/22 by flipping the wheel.

My Q has been in single speed mode, vs fixed gear mode, for more than
a year.

I am using the 17-19 Dos Eno and that would work for you, though it
would be quite low gearing. I am using the 17-19 with a 39-45 up front
I'm running the 16/19 with 32/36 in front on my QB. This gives me
about the same range as stock (40/32 with a single 18t freewheel) with
a dandy looking fender line, great chainline, a bailout gear AND easy
wheel removal. I only use the 16/36 and 19/32 combos. I live in a
pretty hilly town and

So far my S1 has a 17 tooth single. Can't comment too much on it
because I don't even have a chain installed yet, or brake levers.
Should get the first trial run this weekend.
I'm going to get the gearing tested out for a while before I spring
for a White freewheel (if ever). The cranks will
