Hey... Not sure if you're still looking at buying a Riv, but I have a 2010 Hillborne in 48cm size (orange) that I'm getting ready to sell. It's a full build, so it would have all the parts, unless someone has the parts they want, in which case I will consider just selling the frameset. Let me

My PBH is just shy of 77cm (just under 30in) and there is absolutely no extra room for stand over... I even lean the tandem a bit when stopped to keep me comfortable (and that's with 42mm tires). It only works because we both dismount at stops. It's truly too large for someone of my height and

So, yes, it's a small road bike that happens to have 650b wheels. I have had 650c wheels as well on another bike... and there aren't a ton of options there either. It's almost the opposite problem though. One can find narrower 650c tires, but finding wider ones becomes more of a challenge. My
