Couple o' points - - Yeah, I do think that a lot of large-scale manufacturers send the bikes with shorter steerers. Forks and frames don't necessarily come from the same production facility, and they are often cut to spec before packaging them.
- Grant's fitting guidelines are ostensibly for Rivendell designs. Lowish BB. Long chainstays. Assumption that you can actually put the bars up. There are a lot of inherent aspects to his designs which are subtle but combine to the overall Rivendell bike fit. - The above is NOT to say you can't approach a non-RBW bicycle in the same manner, particularly those which were heavily influenced by Grant's designs. But, if you tried to fit an early mtb (pre-93) using that method, you would end up with a very different animal. (LOOOONG frames designed for maximum standover) than if you used that on an LHT or a Sam. - You did a good thing, ya did. - Jim cyclofiend.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
