If you get one, I'd love to hear your impressions as I've been looking at this bar too. As far as spreading out the controls, I assumed you could mount the shifters on the forward extension, kind of like Jones did with the early "H" bars before they became a full loop. That would probably

Eric, oh, the bar end shifters. Yes, I had them on my Betty Foy with Bosco Bars and I wore the mark of them on my thighs many times. I had one particularly tight corner near the school that would earn me a decent jab at least weekly. The Betty was my first Rivbike and I didn’t realize I could

I have 10 cm one I'd probably sell. It was on my Sam Hillborne and has lots of miles on it, but I am switching to the faceplate ecosystem. With that said, it's going to be a PITA to disassemble. On Sunday, September 4, 2022 at 4:25:16 PM UTC-5 Garth wrote: > Ben's is always good for some

James, I also have the same pbh and saddle height and long arms. I traded for an older 64 Atlantis (single tt) and thought it was a bit large for the rough stuff I like to ride. Little to no standover clearance. Sold it but did not seek out a 61. Moved to frames with 559 wheels. Steve On Sun, Sep

Brian Have you considered an early AHH in 650B. The 650B AHH's were the Saluki, according to all the RBW literature. The Waterford AHH frames were in 2cm increments, so they may fit you better, if you can find them. Can not remember when RBW changed the name from Saluki to AHH for the

The SH has the expanded geometry or whatever its referred to. It like all modern Rivendells will have less standover on the smaller models because of the sloping top tube. On Sunday, September 4, 2022 at 10:20:22 AM UTC-4 jrst...@gmail.com wrote: > I don’t trust listed standover height. I

I don’t trust listed standover height. I would ask owners to measure and ask what tires they have on. My 51cm Hillborne is about 30.5 inches, a bit over 75cm. My 54cm Saluki which is at the shop presently is about the same. My 55cm Bleriot was about 31” standover. Of course these measurement

The 50 cm Saluki is 75.0 while the Bleriot 49 cm is 75.1 for stand over So if a 49cm Bleriot would work, so will a 50 cm Saluki. Just hives you one more option. The 50 cm Rambouillet would also work (74.2 stand over) , but it has 559 wheels, not 584 as you expressed a preference for. It will
