Hi Max. 31 and 17 inches or 79 and 43cm. I suppose most rivs go swept back. I went with a mild sweep and 9cm stem, just a preference but I see more drop bar builds an the Appaloosa recently. Pretty versatile bike I’d say. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Gossamer, if I was you I would feel the same way because I am the same way ! The personal sense of fit and comfort simply cannot be formulated or philosophied. I don't take anyones recommendations when it comes to such matters. When I had a frame built from a local builder the fit kit formula

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

@gossamer I understand your frustration and dont mean on keep hitting a dead horse but for whatever its worth, in case you are not familiar with it, the 20th edition Riv Bicycle catalogue includes an overlay of the different bars common to these bikes. It helped me deciphering the bar choices

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

Hey Garth...you're going to have to trust me when I say that I've tried just about everything. Aside from a new stem that rises, I've done what I can. I've put those current bars up quite a ways...tot he point where it simply looks and feels like I own the wrong bicycle. The fact of the matter

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

Riv has recently posted a new frame sizing chart. I think its useful since every model is a bit different.

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

My PBH measures 89, I'm 6' tall, and like I may have mentioned in another post, the stand over is great. I simply am out of whack on the reach part. Despite me having "Normal" measurements, I don't like extended reach but do like drop bars. So in this case, the geo of the bicycle makes that

Not that I, uhhh, would be looking for or have room for a new bike, though I think that Gossamer's Appaloosa is beautiful... But curiosity has its place so I was looking up the geometry for the Appaloosa and found that the specific Appaloosa page lists, I believe, physical top tube length

Thanks for taking the time to answer, Gossamer. Like Scott said, it's always useful to compare setups and hear what works for others - ESPECIALLY when the bike is your size (that's a 58, right?), or the questions are ones you've wrestled with. I wish I had the money to buy this. I'm kind of

Understood, and I suspect many of us could say "been there...". The Appaloosa's just take the long top tube, and chain stays for that matter, to new territory, which is certainly not bad but, yeah, wow! If you still have the stock levers and shifters from the Choco Moose setup, it seems they

Gossamer: You might be able to solve that shifters-hit-knees problem with a different pullback bar and long stem. I don't use bar-ends on my 51cm Appaloosa, but I found that the Choco-Moose bars were just a smidge closer than I liked. I switched to an Albatross on a 12cm Nitto Pearl stem and

[RBW] Re: FS-Joe Appaloosa

You offer an interesting solution and I'll seriously consider it. My issue is that I think the bars need to come back, as the bike was designed, to an area appreciably behind the head tube. What I want to avoid is the constant churn of handlebars, tape, shifters, levers...on and on. I do enjoy

Not inappropriate at all. More than happy to answer. While I agree with the sizing methodology that RBW shares, I made the mistake in this instance. Will tried to tell me, and I didn't listen, that this would not be my best choice for a drop-bar bicycle when compared to the Atlantis. I ordered
