Yes, Ginz I think you are right, but more like captains under 5'6". Captains under 5'6" who pre-ordered probably should have a talk with the friendly Riv staff about whether they made a good choice. If they think you can't fit any of the sizes, they'll give your money back. The Small is not

You can check the geometry chart out on the blog but I'm pretty sure the S will fit a 5'8 captain just fine. The chart shows a 10cm (4") difference between minimum and maximum saddle height for the capt (and a whopping 18cm difference for the stoker!) and Grant has mentioned that all but the ver

Now how can a S be right for someone 5'10"? Isn't that excluding at least everyone under 5'8"? I guess that's the plan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send

And you want to be able to plant your feet wide for the stoker to mount and dismount, and to hold the stoker up when stopped. On Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 3:36:48 PM UTC-4, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > On 07/20/2016 02:33 PM, Lungimsam wrote: > > Must be hard to design just a few sizes to fit e

I, too, switched from a M to S after talking to Grant on Saturday. He reminded me that in the Hubbah infancy the sizes were M, L and XL, so really, Bill, we did get mediums. His other point was age and hip flexibility and how high you want to swing your leg over and how old you would still like

Must be hard to design just a few sizes to fit everyone, especially for a tandem. Sounds like fistfull of seatpost will be rare on these. Are the HHH bikes threaded or threadless steerers? Though not high on my next bike list, I feel funny passing up the rare chance at a Riv tandem. -- You r

I'm really impressed that Riv pre-sold 50 HUBBUHUBBAH tandems, and I'm super excited to be one of those people. I had to pull the trigger remotely because I was on vacation. Now that I'm home and can reflect, I've looked at the SH ranges. For what it's worth, I've followed Grant and went wit
