I'm aware of in Riv's lineup is the 46cm Appaloosa and I'll be surprised if
we see it again. The new 45 Clem dropped 26" for 650B this year.

Curious: are the smaller HHs and Roadeos built for 26" wheels?
I know that if I were in the market for a top-level, light road bike I'd
certainly consider the Roadeo (700c wheels in my size, of course).

Gee...not to complicate things...because in the related thread I said you

I respectfully suggest you consider a A Homer Hilsen in a 47.5 or 51 cm
frame, if you really want a Rivendell. It has all the improvements G

dropouts are not as easy to work around as vertical ones, & the AHH
Thank you everyone for your input!
I am going to think about this quite seriously and may come back with
questions about the parts I need to build it up.

Definitely a toss up at the moment because of price, and how I am not sure
it will be 100% a perfect fit. But it's tempting because of the color and
how it's not that common to come by.
I don't actually own a Riv at the moment, but have ridden a friend's
Roadeo, and loved it; so either I go
Thanks for all the thoughts. I have reservations about buying this frame at
this price, but that's alleviated by the knowledge that it's for the
museum. In any case, I will go see it, and probably decide later in the
week.

The Mountain Bike Museum sells lots more than frames...
Every time I go by there, I am tempted by at least a couple of their bikes.

Just some thoughts from an Old Guy who owned a '95ish Road Standard,
currently has a '98 Road Custom and lotsa Waterfords.
It is kinda pricey. It is also one of those things that you won't find
often/easily, there's often a Riv premium to be paid, and in this smaller

My 1996 Riv catalog says that the 50cm (c-t) is built for 26" wheels. 4.5cm

slight to fit various hubs."
"50 women's" has a tt of 50.5cm, and "50 men's" has 52.5cm. So I would
guess this one is 50cm men's. Not that
It depends on when the frame was built, it could be several years away from

But in the spec sheet Jim attached, the smallest size is 52cm. I guess it

I've been staring at that frame for weeks, it's gorgeous! At 5'-6"-ish it's
too small for me, I'll bet a 50 × 52cm would be perfect for you, especially
with drops or Moustache/Albastache bars.
The listing says 125 rear spacing but I'm pretty sure all Riv Roads werr
