Just remember a Waterford AHH in 650B is essentially the same as a Saluki
(per the RBW literature/statements) and maybe more available since they
were around longer.
The 650B AHH-MUSA were in 47cm and 50cm frames and the 50 has 1cm shorter
effective TTL than a 47 (per the 2017 RBW geo
I’d have no problem with a Bleriot or Saluki. I have a Saluki now and had
a Bleriot for many years. They ride is very similar but I prefer the
Saluki. Get whichever one pops up and both, in my size, fit 42mm tires
easily.

Hi guys- Thanks for your inputs. Appreciate it!
As from what I know, there’s 47cm Saluki Prototype (small batch hence rare
to score) that runs on 650b wheels. I have a 650b wheelset that I want to
use along with 42mm tires. Hence why I prefer a 650b Riv frameset. I’m

Have you considered an early AHH in 650B. The 650B AHH's were the Saluki,
according to all the RBW literature. The Waterford AHH frames were in 2cm
increments, so they may fit you better, if you can find them. Can not
remember when RBW changed the name from Saluki to AHH for the
The SH has the expanded geometry or whatever its referred to. It like all
modern Rivendells will have less standover on the smaller models because of
the sloping top tube.

I don’t trust listed standover height. I would ask owners to measure and
ask what tires they have on. My 51cm Hillborne is about 30.5 inches, a bit
over 75cm. My 54cm Saluki which is at the shop presently is about the
same. My 55cm Bleriot was about 31” standover. Of course these measurement
The 50 cm Saluki is 75.0 while the Bleriot 49 cm is 75.1 for stand over So
if a 49cm Bleriot would work, so will a 50 cm Saluki. Just hives you one
more option.
The 50 cm Rambouillet would also work (74.2 stand over) , but it has 559
wheels, not 584 as you expressed a preference for. It will
