[RBW] Family member thinking about a 52 Clementine
The person in question has been interested in having a bike she could ride around her uptown-y area in a large southern city. She owns a couple of high end crabon fibre bikes. I suggested the Clementine as one of the finest examples of such a bike, and informed her of the presale. However, she is curious about the sizing since she is 5'10 and normally rides a 54. I replied to her thusly: Rivendell does their sizing differently than most bikes, and it even differs from model to model. They said in their blog that the 52 would fit around 5'8 to 6'0 and I'd tend to take them at the their word, but if you have questions I'd definitely give them a call. They are very nice and will take the time to explain the sizing rationale for a specific model. Any additional advice I should give her? -- Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I just rode the smallest (swear they said 50, but looks like 45 per blug and makes more sense to me - easy to confirm with them, it was the teal prototype) around the parking lot and it felt great after they moved the seat way down for me. Fit very nicely. I'm 5'3 and ride a 50 cheviot. Don't know if that helps, but it was a fun ride (Albatross bars). All the colors are very nice, but i really like the blue clem smith jr. They all have a really nice rbw detailing where the stem attaches to the frame,nice touch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
