I might have to duck a bit to clear the seat rails, but I'm pretty sure I
could ride my 47 AHH underneath. ;)

Nice pictures, Michael! Good luck on the Century. I bet you'll do just
fine; you're doing the prep rides and you really enjoy your bike. Let us

Brian,
I'm barely 52 and my PBH is 75.5. I ride a 47cm AHH and I do think it's
the largest size diamond frame bike that I can comfortably ride. I looked
for a used, small, high quality mixte for a long time without success.
Soma makes a 42 Buena Vista. I saw one with 26's at a LBS here in
Liesl, I know what you mean. I bought a 6 piece of small diameter, thick
walled pipe that I use on the hex key to give me more leverage and a rubber
mallet to whack the nose of the saddle. Careful and judicious use of both
seems to work well for me.

Hi Charles,
Congrats on the new Sam! I'm barely 5'2 and have, for 2 years, looked for
a used Riv or good Riv-ish style bike in a 45 or 47. I never found a used
one, but I'm sure there a a few out there that I missed. I think we're a
pretty small market...uh, no pun intended. After my 47 AHH

Thank you for the wonderful and thoughtful posts. I'm trying to convince
my partner to get a Betty, but she just can't get past the $3k. Yet. It's
been useful for me to read each of your stories about the different bikes
you've ridden. I'll be patient; perhaps as she rides
