[RBW] Re: New Sam Hillborne sizing advice

[Grady Wright]

Thank you for the pictures and stating the saddle hight! Super helpful. 
With my saddle hight being 79 or 80 that's more post than I want. Feeling 
good about buying the 60cm as well.

 Hey all, first time posting here. I'm planning on grabbing a Sam 
 Hillborne frameset when they go on sale this month. It'll be my first 
 Rivendell. I decided on the Hillborne as a replacement for my 56cm Cross 
 Check, which has never been comfortable for me. The short headtube puts 
 the 
 bars too far below my saddle.

 I have a pair of Billie bars I'd like to put on the Hillborne for daily 
 commuting, grocery getting, and some light off road riding. I'd also like 
 to have the option to use drop bars at some point down the line.

 I went to the Rivendell shop a few weeks ago to test ride a few bikes 
 and get sized. I'm 6' with a 92 PBH (long legs, short torso), and based on 
 the Sam geo chart, my PBH puts me firmly in the size 60 Sam range. They 
 didn't have a 60 Hillborne around, so I instead rode a 57 Sam and a couple 
 of 61.5 Homers with different cockpit setups. 

- The 57 Sam was set up with wide, swept back bars (Ron's Ortho 
bars) and was comfortable. We did have to raise the seatpost up pretty 
 high 
to get the saddle in a good position.
- The first 61.5 Homer was set up with Billie bars and was also 
comfortable. The saddle was pretty close to the top tube, however - 
 there 
was maybe a little less than a fistful of seatpost showing.
- The second 61.5 Homer with drops made me feel a little stretched 
out. The saddle was raised up higher than ideal for my height, but the 
 bike 
belonged to a staff member who wasn't around that day, and so we didn't 
adjust the saddle position. Part of me thinks it might have worked with 
 a 
lower saddle, shorter stem, and higher bars, but I'm not totally sure.

 I left feeling like a 60 Sam would work for me, but I'm now second 
 guessing whether it makes more sense to go down to the 57 for a shorter 
 top 
 tube length. However, the size 57 Sam has a suggested PBH range of 86-89, 
 which is 3cm lower than my PBH of 92. 

 Could anyone share if you've had a similar experience being in-between 
 sizes for a Sam Hillborne, and how the size you chose worked out? Or 
 better 
 yet, is there anyone near Berkeley who has a 57cm or 60cm Hillborne you'd 
 let me test ride to nail down my size? I'd be happy to buy you a beer or 
 some other beverage as a thank you!

Really appreciate bigger sensors being available in pocketable packages. I 
don't ride in jerseys any more, so I haven't settled on the best way to 
carry even a really compact camera like an RX100 or GR. Even when just 
riding with my phone, with it in the pocket of a normal pair of shorts, 
it's not a great to wrestle it out while pedaling. Have ridding a couple 
times with the RX100 in a stem pouch and that's probably the best carry 
option I've used so far. Ir maybe that sort of bag worn on a belt, or...a 
fanny pack.


For carrying phone/cameras, I've been using one of the Routewerks handlebar 
bags for several years. 


That looks really really practical. I need to do a deep dive into getting a 
new handlebar bag. Would like a bigger one and one with a quick release so 
it's less fiddly to not leave my bag behind when stopping somewhere while 
riding around town. Using mustache handlebars complicates things a little, 
but deciding to go with pink accents even more so.

Think for larger cameras with interchangeable lenses, even if a relatively 
small one with a not-big lens, is gonna be best carried in a bigger 
handelbar bag. Using a shoulder strap with a stabilizer strap works well 
too, but I just don't want the weight on me, even if it's not all that 
much. 

So far, for the RX100, a stem pouch has been pretty good, and I've stuck a 
folded innertube at the bottom of the bag to raise the floor and make it 
easier to get the camera out while pedaling. But this definitely won't take 
an MILC, unless it's an especially small body and especially flat pancake 
lens.

Another camera that I wish I had to try out for carrying while riding is a 
Panasonic LX100. Pretty compact all-in-one with a 24-75mm (equiv) zoom and 
m43 sensor.

On my ride up Monte Bello from Stevens Creek Reservoir, it was dusky by the

way I came. Will try to do it as a bigger loop, next time.

For those who are getting a Periwinkle Sam ... what color combos are you 
planning for your build?

I've ordered a purple Funky Monkey front cable hanger from Paul. Not sure 
it's going to be a good match. I have Phil Wood blue bottom bracket dust 
caps ... they'll probably match okay, not sure. The one that Riv built up 
for photos seems to be straight up gray-silver-black, and IMO it looks very 
nice.

[RBW] Re: Will the 50cm Susie be too small?

[iamkeith]

I'd second the opinion that you want the medium.  As another with a 
proportionally long torso, Rivendell (or even most other bikes)  rarely 
have a long enough top tube for me.  The beauty of the susie is that you 
can get a longer bike and still have standover clearance.  You might find 
the stack height a bit tall, but you can play with stems to de-emphasize 
that.  It'll probably be the best-fitting bike you've ever owned.

How long are your arms?  For me, that would be the deciding factor as to

[RBW] WTB: 54 homer or roadini

[Greg Sonstein]

I would really like to find a 54 mermaid roadini. I am
Also open to similarly sized homer, just not blue or gold. I’m selling my
57 roadini because it’s too big for me.

[RBW] Re: ORtlieb backroller panniers & carryon.

[Michael Morrissey]

I've brought 2 Ortliebs as luggage to Europe in 2019. There was no issue. 
Maybe bring a big pillowcase or plastic bags as backup (you could put the 
whole bag in a pillowcase) in case they give you trouble about the outside 
latches. Worst case scenario, they might have you check the bags. 

Go for it.

Re: [RBW] The Cub House's Los Angeles Invitational Ride - May 18

[Neale S.]

Ted - it was the Rincon Red Box road the entire way. Puts you out on 39 a 
little above the reservoir. My first time doing anything in that area. It 
was tough but none of the grade or surfaces were unreasonable - just long 
and a lot of climbing.

[RBW] Re: Not that we need a reason.

[larson....@gmail.com]

Thanks Curtis for the link. This completely mirrors my experience. I had an 
MRI on my left knee in 2009, and was a candidate for a knee replacement in 
the near future. I took up cycling in 2010 after a twenty year hiatus and 
have ridden over 40,000 miles since then. Other than some daily aches and 
pains, my knees are in good shape and no talk of any knee replacement.. My 
weight, cholesterol, heart rate and blood pressure are better than at any 
time in my life. I will be 62 in November. I do believe healthy eating is 
an important part of the overall health equation, and I do walk about 1200 
miles/year. Movement is medicine!
