Indeed, Riv sizing can get quite confusing because they're still labeling them according to seattube length. In this crazy modern world of sloping toptubes an older 54cm Atlantis fits like a newer 51cm, rendering sizing by seattube the wrong way to go. The trick is to look - as you subsequently

The effective reach on my 60cm Surly CC is 60.0, the 61cm Roadini almost the same, 5mm bigger. The CC is a smidge too long for me, the height is good, but my T-Rex arms needed a new fork with uncut steerer tube and the shortest highest adjustable stem I could find at the time and it was never

OH I see I just went to the geometry page for the 61 and it's 62 to the top of the tube... ok gotcha. So the 61 is a pretty decent size bike, even for me. On Friday, August 13, 2021 at 7:53:02 AM UTC-4 Yankeebird wrote: > But wouldn't size wise the 61 correlate to the effective height, as >

But wouldn't size wise the 61 correlate to the effective height, as opposed to the actual height of the shorter seattube? On Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 8:40:19 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > The way to think of it is two road frames with about the same reach or > effective toptube, but the

The way to think of it is two road frames with about the same reach or effective toptube, but the Roadeo has a flat tube reaching back to a taller seattube and the Roadini has a toptube that drops down to a shorter seattube. It's actually a downslope, not upslope. For instance to correlate to

Explain your decision to size down to me, please. Educate me. I had been toying with the idea of a 61cm Roadini-- pbh 91. Wouldn't the upslope make you think larger size as effective reach would be shorter? Help me out on this, honest question. Doesn't have to be Adam if someone else knows the

Quick correction - Looking for a 57 Roadini. I didn't realize how much upslope the top tube has. A 61 Roadeo would still interest me though! Thanks, Adam On Thursday, August 5, 2021 at 9:09:02 PM UTC-6 Adam Kimball wrote: > Ideally a complete. And ideally orange. > > -Adam > > > On Aug 5,
