Wow! What an amazing group! I really appreciate all the info and advice. I
ended up calling Riv as many of you suggested and had an awesome chat with
Grant. He ended up recommending the 50 Atlantis. Now hoping to get everything
sorted to get a build going.
Thanks for again for all the help!

Chase, how are you measuring your PBH? Do you have help? I have found
variations depending on measuring methods. I use the Riv method, my PBH is
80.6. The 50cm Atlantis fit great with 48mm tires. MT 51cm Sam which I
bet is similar to the Appaloosa might be a tad tight at 79 PBH. I’d
Hi Chase, I'm one centimeter taller than you with PBH of 81. I've owned
50 MIT Atlantis, 51 Appa and 46 Appa. As for the Atlantis, 50cm is most
definitely your size. IMO, 50cm Atlantis is almost identical to 46cm Appa
in terms of geometry and how they ride. One notable exception is
I have the Appaloosa in NYC, but I have the 55cm one from the original run
and it's too big for you. It's a great bike for NYC. Mine is even set up
singlespeed right now. It still rides amazing. Even for me - the Appaloosa
feels BIG! But mine fits me well and I love it.
Why don't you measure
Hi Chase
Where are you located? Maybe someone nearby has one you can test ride.

I have a 2016 Joe Appaloosa that you can try.
I work in the very most NE corner of Philadelphia on a train line, or it's
an easy car ride, if you have a car. I'm also going to the RBW forum ride
on Saturday. If it might rain, I'll have the Joe A., if not I'll bring my

This is one of those things with Rivendell does very, very well. I'd reach
out to them and have them talk you through it.
A lot will have to do with your riding style, the type of locations you
favor and the bar setup you choose. But, they've talked hundreds of people
through that process and
Hey Chase!
I think people who are between sizes can typically go either way. I'd call
Rivendell and see where they'd put you. Make sure you have a very accurate
PBH measurement. When I measured mine, I got different numbers each time,
but by like a quarter or half cm...not a whole cm. One thing
Hi Chase and welcome! I'm your height with maybe a smidge more PBH, my 51cm
Appaloosa fit great with the pullback-style bars most of us around here
use.
