Michael The 54 will absolutely be a single top tube. When Keven said that the 54 will be 1.5 cm longer, it did not occur to me to ask if the first prototypes were built 1.5cm too short or if they changed the number from the PDF file on the Riv site to 1.5cm longer.
With my PBH of 87, standing over the 58 hunqa prototype with Big Apple 700x50 (not 60s), I could stand flat footed, and could lift the front wheel only about 1 cm. Keven said that if the final prototypes (later this month) are perfecto, then late July is still the date for finals.
