Carla asked about my height and test riding. I'm 5'10'' with a PBH of 86, with average proportions.
I didn't go to Rivendell to test ride any other bikes (I live in Lincoln, Nebraska!). My approach was to compare the geometry chart on the Riv page against bikes that I currently have that fit well. The Rosco actually offered better features than my previous best-fitting bike, a 1990 RB2. What I mean by that is that the seat tube is longer by 2cm, and while the top tube length is the same at 57.5cm, the Rocso has a slight incline, and an extended head tube. So I took a shot and ordered the frame, and it paid off. The extended head tube puts me in a very comfortable riding position compared to the other bike. I hope this is helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
