[RBW] Re: where is frame size shown?

[Jamie Poolos]

Thanks, all. Thought it might be stamped on the seat tube. It’s my dad’s bike. 
I sold a motorcycle and bought it for him for xmas years ago. He put a couple 
thousand miles on it every summer til he fell off and broke his hip two years 
ago at 87. I’d keep it if it weren’t too big for me, but I’m afraid it’s got to 
go. I’ll have someone measure it. In the meantime, here are two pics that might 
help you guys determine the size by eye. Many thanks.

[Bill Lindsay]

You did describe a Roadini with 35mm tires and since a Roadini can’t take 35mm 
tires with fenders, I took that to mean no fenders. Roadini is a cool bike. 

Happy New Year

Pretty sure there was a 50 but don’t think there was a 48. The smaller sizes 
(52 and under) had 26 inch wheels.

Lee, I love the saddlebag too. My ideal saddle bag for this bike would be the 
tweed saddlesack with quick access side pockets like on this older bag.

[RBW] 62 Appaloosa rider with 90 PBH?

[tc]

Did I remember correctly that someone in the Bunch with a 90 PBH rides a 62 Joe 
with Albatross or choco moose bars?  I know the 62 is rated for PBH of 89 and 
up but thought someone here actually does it. I had a few q’s if so...

Re: [RBW] Re: where is frame size shown?

[James Warren]

If it’s greater than 52 cm and you don’t get an even number, you’re doing it 
wrong. I don’t remember the small sizes though. All even sizes 54 and up were 
made, all the way to 68. Might have been even in the smallest as well. I seem 
to recall 50’s existing.

I can’t find my old brochure. Buried under other piles.

[RBW] Re: Real ride comparison: Joe Appaloosa vs Sam Hillborne vs Roadini?

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Except that A. I did not describe the bike with or without anything. And B. 
A Roadini can take any or all of these items, as can any other Rivendell. 
You can have a "stripped down" Homer, Sam, Cheviot, etc. So a specific 
Roadini might be set up as a "stripped down racing bike" but I do not think 
of it as an apt descriptor for the Roadini model. I will agree that that an 
excellent way to enjoy the attributes of a Roadini would be to set it up as 
a circa 1974 stripped down racing bike! Happy Holidays!

Yes, measurement is to the TOP of the seat tube or, more accurately, to the top

Re: [RBW] where is frame size shown?

You mean, like a frame decal?  Rambouillets didn't have the frame size 
marked on the frame.  You measure it from center of bottom bracket to 
top of seat tube.

[Kainalu V.]

It's shown on a ruler held parallel to the seat post, measuring from the 
center of the bottom bracket (crank bolt) to somewhere above. I believe 
Rivendell measures to the top of the seat tube. But if you posted a picture 
I'd bet many here could make a good guess of it by eye.

Re: [RBW] Re: My low-trail Atlantis is coming up for sale...

[René Sterental]

Apologies for any confusion I may have created. I probably shouldn’t have
sent out this “feeler” to the group. After a few days of more careful
consideration, I’ve decided to disassemble the bike and sell the frame/fork
and parts separately, while keeping some of them to move to my Homer, which
I’m going to be keeping for now. At some point in the future, there may be
a decision between keeping the Homer vs. the Cheviot, but each of these is
unique enough on its own and aside from riding preferences, distinct enough
to my custom as well.

I’ve created a separate thread for the frame and fork and even though the
timing isn’t optimal, right after Christmas, and given that I’m in no rush,
we’ll see what happens.

You can imagine how I’m battling my emotions on this issue, after putting
so much love, care and money on my Atlantis. It’s just that this is what I
need to do now, so please, excuse my clumsiness.

Sometimes it’s not easy to do the right thing, but I want this bike to be
ridden and enjoyed, not just remain hanging in my garage. And I also want
to own less stuff.

Happy New Year!

René

The only one I edited out this year was the solid Silver version. In some 
cases the cast badges replaced an earlier stamped version. (like Saluki, 
Glorius and Wilbury) I don't think you get a choice today, but never hurts 
to ask.

don’t recall there being any discussion about WHERE or WHY they were made. I’d
