Thanks for sharing your experience Chad. Yes, I've been through a lot of
Rivs mainly because my proportions seem out of the norm.
To be clear 54.5 when riding with shoes is no problem. I'm not a stickler
about standover, especially on a road bike like this. With shoes if I tilt

Phil,
I also have an 80PBH and set my saddle at 68.5-70 depending on the pedals,
shoes, saddle, etc. I’m curious, did RBW steer you towards the 54.5? A 54.5
with the upsloping top top tube seems awful big for a 80 PBH. I had a 51 Sam
Hillborne that was almost the same in every dimension to
Hi Roberta,
I've had the Appaloosa and it's a great bike. I had a 51cm.
I would say the AHH is a bit more zippy. I think it depends on if you need

Hi, Phil.
I talked myself out of an MIT AHH, which I was considering (drooling over,
actually) for several weeks as a bike for a second location. I am
still curious though... Have you ridden a Joe Appaloosa or Atlantis? I
have an Appaloosa and I was wondering how different or similar the
My PBH is 78.74cm and I have a 51cm AHH. It's slightly small, but the 54.5
would be too big. I do like the stand over though because of stop lights
and whatnot.

I'm very similar. I have a 68.5 saddle height and 69.5 PBH. The 54 AHH is

As I've responded to RDS:
My pbh is 80cm. Saddleheight is 68.5 but have dropped it to 67cm these
days. No issues, I would just like to size slightly smaller to lower my
handlebars a bit more, but 51cm is too small.
I'm also willing to trade for a 53cm Atlantis.
