Yeah, definitely sounds like I got the wrong one. I'll have to contact them. Now I'm just hoping I didn't damage the frame. I think I'll be good with 250. But thanks for the insight and info! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

I think I remember Grant saying he thought the newly designed seat cluster was really strong and able to take a lot, and a repeated "a lot" at that. It seems like it should be fine but, yeah, a call to them Monday would be a good thing. Congrats on the new frame! It will be interesting to

I just got my frame, a 61.5/700c and it uses a 27.2 seat post. Based on what you are saying, I would think a call would be in order to Rivendell as I think there was a mix-up. If you have access to a 27.2 post, in your parts stash or from another bike, it would be a useful test to try that!

What size seatpost does the frame use? Does frame size change the diameter? The frame came to me with a 26.8 x 250. I think it's too small as I have the clamp bolt tightened all the way down. Afraid to give it too much more force. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

The one they sent with the frame is indeed a 27.2 x 250. I already had a Nitto S83 waiting (27.2 x 300) so I did not even try the one they sent. As far as the length goes, I could be fine with a 250 (versus the 300) as I am at the very lowest end of the PBH range for the 61.5 (89cm pbh) and
