I'm 5'8" with an ~81 pbh and I've decided that if I were to get a Platy
(and I do entertain the idea, although I can't do it in the foreseeable
future) I'd get a 50 because I love the way 650B wheels ride. At my (our)
height, I think either size can totally work fine. Changing the handlebar
For what it's worth, one of my riding pals runs the 700x38 Rene Herse
knobbies and they're delightful as well, so if you choose to size down to
address the issue I don't think you'll be missing out a whole lot. Plus,
that keeps the BB height, etc closer to the design values.

Kiley, I’ve got a 64 Clem L rolling chassis (embarrassingly not yet built up) and a 1UP rack which I’ve (embarrassingly) not yet tried it on. If you haven’t gotten a definitive answer before then, I’ll throw it on and take some photos when we’re back from our vacation on Thursday.andrewSent from
If you are eager to acquire the X and O thumbie mounts that Rivendell sells
and want to pay less than 45 dollars each for them, maybe just say how much
you want to spend, and maybe somebody who has a set will sell them to you.
Or maybe you have something that retails for $90 that you no longer

I have a sightly-used royal blue rack-trunk that I don't use. Stiffeners
included. This is the model that opens from the front. $50+shipping from

I can confirm that a 59 Clem L fits just fine on a 1up, as I transport mine
that way regularly.

Go ride it, Sarah! I'm the same height as y'all and I rode the first 50cm
prototype, it felt great.

Since you already own a few step thru-step over rivs maybe you might want
to consider adding a Sam Hillborne to the stable. You never know, someday
you might want to try a drop bar cockpit on your group ride machine. Your
chariot would be waiting.

Super-size the question: My Clem L is a 59; looking/considering a Clem L 64
for my HE (husband equivalent). How in the world do we transport these
behemoths? The idea is for some off-road, away-from-home adventures, but
the whole rack thing needs to be managed. We could remove wheels for
Hey RivSister, want me to got test ride the 50 for you? I know we both like

front door :)
A smaller Platy also comes with less frame reach and bar height potential.
Since you're already at the max stem height and length , going to a smaller
frame doesn't work for you. Neither does a high rise bar
Hi, is this frame still available?

Kiley, I think the best answer for those who have long wheelbase issues, is
to get a rear rack with the dual rack arms that adjust to secure both
wheels of the bike (like the design of 1Up racks, or the Kuat Piston
series). The wheelbase limitations of the Kuat Piston series is 53 inches,

Building a Roadini and looking for a few used items in good shape:
1. Choco bar (norm variety)
2. 170mm-ish crankset - clipper, sugino or silver either a triple or
42/28-ish
3. 700x40 tires ...could go down to 38's ...40's better
4. Something like good condition 559's.
If I were in your situation I'd be tempted to get a folder. PBH would not
be an issue because they have very long seat posts. Some models are
equipped with more upright bars such as you're used to using. They come
with a variety of different types of gearing and ranges. And, of course,
