| I actually live in the historic (by West Coast standards, anyhow) South Hill neighborhood of Bellingham, WA and would be happy to offer my assistance. Reviewing the thread, the OP mentions living in the PNW but not Bellingham specifically — have we narrowed things down to my fair city?

Jay Loner lives just outside of Bellingham, Washington. It would be a question as to whether or not he would be willing to come forward and help Ms. Helen Wilson.

Sorry this got posted under digest, not sure how...Why not just measure standover? Easy enough to measure from the floor straight up to the middle of the top tube. I would think that would be a good indicator of fit for the right person. I always try to go with standover due to BB height, how Rivendell measures, etc. After owning 9+ Rivendell bikes Stand Over and TT length are to 2 figures I want to see.

One caveat about the sizing that's been worked out before folks think it's too tall for them: I believe in that schematic the seattube has been measured to the very tip of the lug, which is where that 65cm number is coming from. Rivendell measures to the top of the toptube as it crosses the seattube, which I think will be a number closer to the toptube number of 61, i.e., the frame is probably 62 x 61cm. Just a guess of course and no slight on Helen's measuring, she's doing the best she can with what folks have told her to measure.
I also offer my condolences, I'm very sorry for your loss.
