The 26” wheel was used to achieve better geometry in smaller size bikes. It is
neutral steering and corners like it’s on rails. Default tire is 32 and takes
fenders. Up to 1 1/2” without fenders. (What I’m using right now). The 1 1/2”
will not pass the brake shoes for removal without letting
I would give my feelings on my 700c Ram but don’t know how different an animal
a 26” wheel Ram is.
Just from looking, there are massive geo frame diffs.
Look at the HT discussed earlier. Look at how far back the rear wheel/tire is
from the ST on the 52. Looks almost like a longboard bike.

Keith, the AHH is going to be great and have lotsa room for fat 650b tires.
Since you're local you might as well go ride both!

Whoops, you are talking about a Ram, not an Atlantis; scratch the Rat Trap
Pass. But underline again the Elk Pass. On a 23 mm rim it ought to max out
at 30 mm. But the ride quality is so good that, IMO, you don't need
anything fatter for pavement or firm dirt or gravel (and see BQ photos of

Joe,
That's exactly the way I'm thinking about it. It feels like if I don't buy
it, I don't know when I'll have another chance to own one. I am rather
surprised to see that it likely won't take a tire wider than 33 mm. I
wonder how different it would feel from a new, 650B A. Homer Hilsen? That
Keith: With the 26" wheel size, you'd have 2l nice tires available from
Compass, the featherweight 29 mm* Elk Pass to the 50 mm Rat Trap Pass, and
I think Compass reformulated its mid-width ~38 mm tire in that diameter
too, so perhaps it's now of the same supple quality as the 2 others.

Keith: I think the way to look at this is from a 'can't get em anymore'
perspective. If you were interested in a new Riv it would make sense to go
strictly on need in the stable, but for something as rare as a 26-inch-wheel
Ram, you gotta look at the chances you'll ever stumble on one again.
Yeah, could use that chart to confirm the TT length. Guessing it is
measured c-c.

This page from cyclofiend is a great resource.

I ride 56/57cm frames and have no reservations about 26" wheels, but my bike
runs ~50mm wide tires. The Ram you're looking at would only take 33mm according
to the geo sheet. You might gain more
As there seems to be no listing for ST lengths on geo charts online for
Rams, I would ask a lister to measure the seat tube on their 52 and see if
it matches what the seller tells you, center of crank bolt to top of lug.
That way you would know if it is a 52 for sure.

Lum,
It's because your 54cm uses 700c wheels and the 52cm uses 26" wheels. The
smaller wheel diameter calls for a shorter fork and therefore longer HT.

It's the mysteries of a 26" wheel being WAY smaller than a 700.

Then the wheel size can’t be 26”. 26” came wit the 50cm and 52 cm only. 54cm
has 700 wheels. Very different standover.

The craigslist post says the frame size is 54 cm. Is that not correct? I
have a 79 cm PBH, I would assume the 52 cm size would be better for me than
a 54 cm. I don't need another bike, but I have been looking at this one,
it's pretty sweet.

This is a 52 with 26" wheels and is still set up the way it was sold as a
complete bike by Rivendell. I have the same bike, only with lots of beausage

And 54 was 700c.
Only 52 is 26"
