I'm not Phillip but as they all apply to me, I can weigh in on your
questions 3.
What was your experience like with the dingle (double singlespeed for the
archives) setup? I am very curious about this setup option.
Works well--I run a double ring/Dingle combo (with a single fixed cog on

I have my QB set up with the Riv-supplied double up front and a White
Industries DOS freewheel in back. I don't use the flip side of the hub at
the moment. It's easy to shift, but I don't shift much as my commute can be
done in one gear and that's 99% of my riding on the QB.

This talk makes me want to set up my SimpleOne with more gears...
I love my S1 for commuting. I put a Nitto Mini up front with a Carradice
Saddlebag on the front. There's a nice minimalist Tubus rack on the back for
when I need grocery hauling.

Front basket, back basket, upright bars or noodles, I always smile
Michael,
Your quickbeam gallery's make me want one right now! And I've never even ridden

Hey Jason,
Dingle: Awesome incarnate. The only way to fly. I actually got kind of OCD
about not moving the axle, since I was using big tires AND fenders.

chainring difference instead of 8. I had a geared bike with the same
