I would say which ever one fits you better wrt saddle to bar distance. I would think the AHH has a slightly longer TT than the Romulus since it is a larger frame. The picture shows the Romulus have a shorter saddle to bar distance and a shorter TTL (from the frame pumps). Is the stem length

Hey All, I anticipate needing to part this out, but before i do, i wanted to see if there was anyone interested in the whole thing. I built this for my mom maybe 5 years ago. I think she used it one time...and she may have been lying about that... and it's been in their garage ever since. It's

Looking to move my 63cm Homer. I've had it built up in various ways but it currently is in adventure mode with the Towel bars and Maxxis tires. I ran it with the Chest which was a fun setup (I'm keeping the Chest!) I've fit 44s and fenders on here as well, so the sky is the limit. Three

Those numbers sound close enough in my world. I run 12 ish cm lower than my PBH and it feels perfect. I do ride in sandals all the time, flip flops a lot, so I think that has me slightly lower than recommended. At 10 cm less I have knee pain as well. On Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 12:47:12

I’m right there with you, Richard. I think PBH gets you in the ballpark, but I always feel like a bit of an oddball whenever I read Rivendell talk about how to figure it in relation to saddle height. For example, I’m 5’8” with a 84cm PBH. However, my saddle height is consistently 71-72cm across

I’m excited to hear how she likes it, Bill. It is a long and luxurious creature; should feel very novel if she’s been riding her Yves. I hope she rides the tires bald!Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 21, 2022, at 5:17 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote:I just bought a 50cm for my wife.  She had a 52cm Yves Gomez

Bill I have an Albastache cockpit (bars, 80mm Dirt Drop stem, and Shimano Tiagra levers - don't *have* to sell as a set, but makes more sense for shipping), and a set of Choco bars, and probably a set of 9-speed Shimano barcons. I've also got 172.5mm Sugino cranks (the former Rivendell

I don't have your Losco to sell, but I am curious what your Trade Candidate Nittos are. Maybe one of us could "trade" some money for one of your Nittos and then you could "trade" that money to Riv for the Loscos you seek. My personal wish list includes: Soba Noodles: I buy these whenever

Six years ago, I had a frame and fork powder coated for about $120. My son did the contrasting paint with spray.bike colors. They worked fine; you need to hold them a few inches from the surface, unlike a traditional spray paint. Philip Sonoma County, Calif On Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at
