Recently ordered the Nitto Platrack, which is facing extinction, and would like one of those roundish bags that Rivendell made just for it (forget the name). Anybody be willing to sell me one? I have a US as well as a UK address you could mail it to, whichever's closer to you. Cheers, Bob

A 57 TT would be too long for me, I think. Most of the Geometry Rivendell charts that match my PBH say 55.5 or 54. On Thursday, June 21, 2012 1:01:26 AM UTC-4, lungimsam wrote: Frame sizes are all over the place for the different models, so I thought I'd just list my PBH. If you have one

Fyi, I sent an email to the owner because to my eye that TT measurement didn't match the 57 cm listed. He quickly responded that it was actually 55 c-c and apologized. Still a 54 c-c seatube. Slightly big for me but a decent deal for someone else depending on how high the price goes. --

If you can't track down a Slickersack, a medium Saddlesack is about the right size and shape. See the difference here.http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/7398233282/ The Saddlesack is a bit more narrow so fits between drops better. --Andy On Sunday, June 24, 2012 12:35:00 AM UTC-7,
