[RBW] Re: Which Riv. mixte has the shortest chainstays?
I have a 47 cm and 50 cm Betty. I can measure them if you tell me where to start/stop.

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Riv. mixte has the shortest chainstays?
Mathew, thanks. I think he bought this from a guy that lives close by me. I was told that he had put it up for sale at higher price than he paid, so this looks like the one. Same size, color, etc. I will pass but I do appreciate you thinking of me. On the list we used to always give good deals and take care of each other in the old days, going back to the original iBob list. The frame is very nice but I don’t know if I will like a mixte riding position if it is mostly upright. I will wait, being retired does make me budget conscious. I am currently waiting to see how my last back treatment takes, so far it is slow but I am riding. I generally ride at about 50-60 degrees, I don’t find 90 very comfortable. Thanks again for thinking of me.

Matthew just posted this Wilbury, in case you didn't see it: https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/d/new-york-52cm- wilbury-rivendell-bicycle/732904.html They don't come available very often.

[RBW] Re: Which Riv. mixte has the shortest chainstays?
I share Joel's concerns about long chainstays and wheelbase. The geometry on the Platypus has not been posted by Rivendell except for some labelled frame diagrams on Instagram which are hard to read. The 50 Platypus appears to have a chainstay of 53 and wheelbase of 120.6. That's compared to a 45 chainstay on the 50 cheviot. The effective top tube on the Cheviot is 57.5 compared to what looks like 61.5 on the Platypus, if I am reading the blurry diagram correctly. So the Platypus 50 is somewhere between 4 and 5 inches longer than the Cheviot 50, if my calculations are correct.

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Riv. mixte has the shortest chainstays?
Thanks Jim, do they also have the old geometry where one would buy a larger bike than the current ones? My Bleriot is a 55cm where my Sam is a 51cm. I will try to hunt down tome geometry charts, I would think think the TT figures would be the most helpful, Joel Sent from ProtonMail for iOS On Sun, May 16, 2021 at 10:16 PM, Jim M. wrote: > Glorius, Betty Foy, and Yves Gomez were all made before the current long > chainstay era.

[RBW] Re: Which Riv. mixte has the shortest chainstays?
Glorius, Betty Foy, and Yves Gomez were all made before the current long chainstay era. Great, beautiful bikes, but good look finding one. After that it would be the Cheviot. For comparison, a 55cm Chev has 50cm chainstays, whereas a 56 Susie has 54. jim m walnut creek, ca On Sunday, May 16, 2021 at 7:06:24 AM UTC-7 Joel S wrote: > Does this also equate to wheelbase? > > I store my bikes in the basement in winter and Sunroom the other seasons. > Long bikes can be a problem. > > Thanks. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
