[RBW] Model/Size Recommendations for PBH 82ish -- In between sizes
Heavy guy here (250) - I’m a good fit on a 56cm Sam, and good on 60cm Cheviot. PBH 84.5cm. I bet you’d really enjoy a 55cm Cheviot (as mentioned above). I ride my Cheviot with 42mm basketball tires (a.k.a Continental Sport Contact II City Tire) and fenders so there’s room to spare. I’d suggest you consider the 44mm Compass Snoqualmie tires if you won’t have fenders. Great ride, smooth and fast and fun. That said, I’ve ridden 32mm touring tires at higher weight (closer to 300) without any issues. But I agree with the general “wider is better” near consensus here.

I've narrowed my choices down to a 51 appa & 53 Atlantis. I've sent some feelers out to some riv dealers to see if there are any 51 appa's still available. Did the appa's come as frame only or did they have a complete option? If complete does anyone have what the build kit was & pricng? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I ride a 59 Clem l and have an 89 PBH. The seatpost looks fine. I think a 52 Clem would be perfect for you if your PBH is 82. The amount of seat post showing would be fine. I really think a 59 would be too big for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

You're not going to like the seatpost/stem extension on a 51 Appa if it bothered you on a 52 Clem. I'm 80ish PBH, short arms and fit well on a 55 Cheviot. I think the fit should work for you, but you're correct that it might be a little underbuilt (maybe talk to Riv about it). For a stout Riv with a tad more standover than your Sam, take a look at the 54 Hunqapillar on Ebay. It's a nice bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I don’t know that the difference between 52/59 Clem’s will be as drastic between a 55/51 Sam. The Clem’s feel bigger to me and their differences greater. Meaning I would maybe try the 51 Sam before you rule it out. That said, I think a 51 Appaloosa would be great for you. Big tires, can handle a load, awesome fork crown, not sidepull brakes... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Need some sizing/model suggestions for those that fall in between sizes on some models. Due to shorter arms & not great flexibility, I want to be on the low end of sizing for a model versus the high end. Meaning less seatpost showing vs more. PBH 82ish. Being overweight, I want to use 38+ wide tires (as a minimum) which might bump SO height up a little as the tire gets more wide and tall. Living in Georgia, I do not have easy access for testing sizes. *Here's what I know due to past purchases:* Clem 52 H - I am on the top end of sizing .. could it have worked? Yes, but not optimal for me plus asthetically, too much seatpost and stem exposed Clem 59 L - with seatpost slammed, on the extreme of getting seat height to work -- slightly too tall Sam 55 - Standover was uncomfortably too tall w/ zero room to spare and that was with either 32mm or 38mm tires *So, trying to narrow down which models that I might be at the lower end of a size.* So, Clem and Sam are out due to being on the high end of sizing for size 51/52. AHH, looks like I'm just slightly to small for size 54.5 which would put me at high end of sizing on a 51. Atlantis, looks like I'd be at the upper end of size 50 & not quite enough SO for 53. Am I right that my two best choices would be *Cheviot 55* (at 300+ lbs I may be too much weight for it) or *Appaloosa 51* as I might be in the middle end of sizing vs high end . Anyone near my PBH, feel free to send pics off list to me showing how much seat post is exposed & your PBH. I want to get the tallest size I can get so that I have little seatpost and high bars. With me having short arms & not being very flexible, I'll probably have to use a reach back style handlebar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
