Re: [RBW] Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[Eric Karnes]

My guess that this is mostly a commentary on the use of fairly steep seat 
tube angles (73–75 degrees) on many road/sport/touring bikes from (very 
roughly) the 80s to present. This can make it very hard for some people to 
get a proper weight distribution without slamming the seat back, using an 
ultra-setback seatpost, or a combination of both. I had a mid-eighties Trek 
sport touring bike like this. I loved the way the frame rode, but the 73.5 
degree sta made it impossible for me to get comfortable.

That said, everyone is built differently (and different bikes are ridden 
differently). Some riders like the saddle more forward, some like it more 
rearward. But Rivs at least give you the option without resorting to crazy 
seat posts or the use of the saddle rail extremities. On my Riv (with a 72 
degree stay), I like the C17 I'm currently riding centered on a standard 
setback post.

As for Riv sizing, again it depends on the rider. As with any non-custom, 
you have to balance the good (for you, that is) with the bad. I have a hair 
under a 90 pbh with a short upper body and arms, so my ideal Riv is the 
older 62cm size with the 59cm tt. But that's not used on most models 
anymore. So if I were to buy a Hilsen, for example, I would probably go 
with a 61cm. It would have more seatpost/stem showing than I prefer, but I 
could comfortably run it with either drop or uprights...and feel more 
comfortable with the standover on trails.

[RBW] WTB: 80mm Technomic

[Bob K.]

I'm swapping from Albatross to Albastache bars on my Sam in an effort to 
convert it from townie-ish to my dedicated road bike. After doing some reading 
on list archives, it sounds like dropping from a 100mm to 80mm stem is the way 
to go, so I'm looking to buy an 80 mm Technomic stem. It doesn't need to be in 
perfect shape--just usable. 

(Related Sidenote: I tried swapping a dirt drop stem but it bottoms out before 
getting as low as I'd like it, so a Technomic it is.)

Let me know what you have before I resort to Amazon or Treefort. Please PM if 
possible.

Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[Belopsky]

Also the 'reach' on the San Marcos is 356mm but the All City is 377.9mm, 
21.9mm difference, and the San Marcos has 1.5* slacker seat tube ... so to 
recreate the same seat to pedal position I could move the seat forward as 
compared to my All City, but then it sounds like I will be a lot closer to 
the controls, a lot more upright? This seem right?

Re: [RBW] Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[Belopsky]

I need to do some measurements and move stuff around on my San Marcos too. 
I suppose it is a much shorter reach since the bars are level with saddle, 
but I'm trying to set this one up more comfortable, yet racy - this is 
supposed to reproduce a 'go fast' bike for me that perhaps is more 
comfortable than my All City. Similarly to the Hillborne, 71.5* seattube - 
so i imagine the saddle needs to be moved up a bit to emulate the position 
on my All City?

As a follow-up, I saw somewhere Grant writing that people like to slam the 
seats ALL the way back - is this due to the upright bars / higher than seat 
bars / upright posture on a bike?

Re: [RBW] Re: HELP!

[Peter White]

Tom did call. It wasn't the axle that broke, it was the skewer. He's
probably heading for a bike shop now to buy a new one. Hope he has great
weather for the trip.

Super suggestion, Jim. Called Peter, who said any skewer will do. Found a bike 
shop a couple of miles away that stocks Q/R skewers, heading there now. Crisis 
averted (I hope -- fingers crossed).

Folks:

A friend and I are in Pittsburgh to start a ride to D.C. on the GAP/C We 
just snapped the axle on a SON 28 dynamo hub. Does anyone have any ideas how we 
might cobble together a replacement?  Would a standard Q/R skewer work?  Any 
ideas would be welcome.

Re: [RBW] Can we talk about Riv bike sizing again?

[Belopsky]

Good point, I did not even consider! I just went out and measured my 
'reach', and it is bigger on the All City, but also we're comparing my drop 
bar brifter setup and albatross. Riding the Hillborne this past weekend I 
felt a bit too far 'back' on the bike, very upright.

I just moved the seat (b17 narrow imperial) up as far as it would go with 
the Nitto 65 post, which was somewhere in that '1.5cm' vicinity, and 
yesterday moved the stem a bit lower into the headtube, so I'll see how 
this feels too.
