[RBW] How tall is too tall for a 55cm Appaloosa?

I'm 6'-1'' with a PBH of 91.5 taken, as they say, "to the bone". Some time ago I test rode a Choko-Moose 62 and found the size very doable. The bike looks big and tall standing next to it but the choko-moose tames it when you ride it. A PBH of 91-91.5cm corresponds to the very end of size 58

Wow, lots of interest! Saddleheight shown is 73.5mm, my PBH is 84.5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

I'm 6' and I ride the 55 Appaloosa. It feels big, rides big, is big, and is great. My PBH is 86. What sizes are you in other bikes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

[RBW] How tall is too tall for a 55cm Appaloosa?

No expert, but 55 seems way small. I'd ride a 55 and I'm 5'10 (ride a 54 hunq and 56 Sam for reference). I have to think 58 would be more comfortable for most riding. You could always use a shorter stem if you wanted to use dirt drop bars... -- You received this message because you are

I know Riv headquarters tends towards recommending larger sizes and it works well for some but not all. That said, I'm 6'1 1/2 and long limbs no torso. and have no idea what my PBH is, and I get different numbers each time I measure. I kind of dig the "dirt drop" style with more seatpost

That silver bar is a Scott DH, an 80's vintage triathlon aerobar. IIRC "DH" was for the inspiration, the aero tuck of a downhill

[RBW] Re: Awesome new bars on Blue Lug Blog.

I'm assuming you're talking about the ones that look like moustache bars with a lot of extra forward reach in the curves, and that fit mtb style levers? Interesting for sure. I have never ordered from them but I think that, if you're in the States, it is easier to do from the fairweather

[RBW] Thanks for Breaking on a Dime Tip!

Keven had suggested folding over a piece of sandpaper to achieve that thickness. That, combined with one of Grant's blug tips always worked for me. Once I have the sandpaper in there, I strap a section of inner tube on the brake lever to hold it closed while I tighten down the brake shoe

Chris, They fit my Cheviot with Paul Racers just fine on A23 rims. Probably could've done SKS fenders by cutting them up so they don't go under the brake arms. Brake clearance was more of an issue with the Tektro 559's. Currently also have SBH's on my BDB Pelican on Synergy Rims. They measure

Re: [RBW] Re: FS - Compass 32mm and 48mm Tires

You know I just pulled them off the rim last night and dont think I ever measured them. They definitely didnt run over 48mm on my bike as I easily fit them with fenders on my Bombadil. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

[RBW] Re: FS - Compass 32mm and 48mm Tires

Tony, Did the 48s actually measure 48 for you? ...and for which rim? I've been sort of wondering if these would fit my Rambler without fenders. My guess is yes. I'm probably too indecisive at this point to be your buyer. Just pondering... Chris Johnson Sanger, Texas On Tuesday, February
