I was just admiring this bike on IG earlier! I am @jasonmytail btw. Lovely build, I ordered a Clem H 45cm earlier today so this was topical for me. Good deal on that sale, I wish I had jumped on it, but thankfully a near-as-good sale came up now so I figured why not. I've only been a

Extremely tempted to! I just bought my Hillborne two months ago so funds are tight (shipping to Canada is expensive too), plus if this new bike is sub-1000 price point and 650B, I think i'd prefer to hold out for it as my commuter bike! Still very very tempted though. On Saturday, 21

Oh you're right, the guy I sold to was between the two bigger sizes and my brain stuck there. We're the same height and I have a 45cm L, it's perfect as long as you don't mind a lot of post showing like modernish bikes (I don't mind). The height stuff on the Riv site is way outdated, it applies

80 cm; I would err towards a 45 if choosing because I'd rather a bike a little small than a little large. And the 45's actually pretty reasonable for my size from a numbers perspective though there is a big disconnect with the recommended height range. I think you were expecting I was between

How tall are you/PBH? I just sold a 52 Clem H cuz the current models have longer toptubes (I didn't know that) and the dang thing was just too big for me. That one might be a little snug on you with the stock Boscos, but there's a hundred other less-reachy-back bars you could pop on there. --

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread. That said, I don't consider a curved top tube to make any difference in whether it rides like / not like a Hillborne. Price point is a differentiator but also kind of a separate consideration, especially since Sam wasn't a super expensive frame (by Riv

The diagram Paul M mentioned shows a low stepover, kind of a high Gus/Susie variation. Also it's going to be mostly-TIGed, so lower price point than Hillborne. We're discussing a bike that's "like a Hillborne" but with a lower-curved toptube, different tube joinery and lower cost. That's a

From the AMA on reddit yesterday, "The next one is Charlie H. Gallop, and it's a high-clearance, v-braked roadish bike that'll fit to 50mm." Nothing new there, definitely sounds very similar to the Hillborne. I expect the chainstays to be ~10mm longer than the equivalent size AHH and
