Dash, I am just ~4 cm taller than you and would be hesitant to recommend
it. Like Kai, I also had a 64 Sam and it was marginally acceptable with a
very tall stem. Unless you are young, flexible and dead set, I’d suggest
you pass on this one.

Sean, I will second Sarah's sentiments about the Platy. I have owned both
and found the Platy to be responsive, agile, stable and an utter a joy to
ride, not to mention handsome candy for mine eye. I'm tall and so both
bikes turned out to be too low a stack height for me, to my great
I'll add another vote to the "Like 'em" column. I have them on my Ram with
a 650b conversion, so they are fully extended. As others have said, they
cannot compete with disks, but I have never found them lacking.
I wasn't always as positive about them but then someone on another thread
As a cold weather cyclist in Maine in the 80's, with Minnesota and the

After many-many years of longing to try out a Dutch bike after reading
Grant's high praise of the same, I finally landed one, knowing it would
likely be too small for me, and sure enough, it's just not a good fit for
these too long and lanky frame and legs. It is more suitable for someone
I love a poncho when the wind allows, but when it's too blustry I use a

How's $950 sound?
Located in Blacksburg, VA, tho I've got some travel upcoming so could

I expect these will appeal to a select few, both for their size and their
function, not to mention the Riv philosophy and sense of style, but thought
I'd post them here, just in case a fellow rider looking to shod his/her

Fellow (tall) Riv-ers,
I'm selling my tall Gunnar, and although not technically a Riv, it is
Waterford built, and so I thought I'd give a heads up for the sake of my
tall fellow riders. I think all the pics and details are in the CL link
below. Please PM if you have questions, thoughts,
Having owned all of the bikes you've mentioned here (Gus, Susie, Jones LWB
complete) I will share that there is no comparison between the Jones
complete vs. the Rivs, IMHO. The Jones complete felt like a sled out of
the box and like you, it was not long in my stable (unlike the Jones LWB
typo--I wouldn't recommend the XL for her long term, but I would recommend
the Large.

Hey Eric,
You may recall that my numbers are just a couple inches more than yours and

either one of those larger sizes for you, especially if you are riding
