Figure I’ll throw one last shout on this thread before I resign myself to the next batch of Sam’s or Appa’s coming later this spring/summer. Interested in any Riv suitable for a 835-840 PBH! On Monday, March 18, 2024 at 2:32:25 PM UTC-4 Drew Fitchette wrote: > Still on the hunt here in the

Hehe, knew that comment was coming the minute I posted Bill! Yeah, makes sense! Would love to test ride a few models In the greater Atlanta area if folks have stuff from 54cm and up. The bikeflights/traveling still Applies in the case that someone has something interesting to sell. - Drew On

Yeah you're a fair bit taller than me and I used to ride a 58cm 700c original-run Atlantis. That may be a tricky fit challenge. I like your inclusion of the Platy on your list. No standover worries with a nice big step through! Last suggestion, if you mention your general location, you may

Thanks for the thoughts Bill! My saddle height is 74cm and the Atlantis I just got rid of is a 53cm. I'm 6' with a 840 pbh, so pretty long torso and shorter legs. Budget is fairly open depending on what the Frame is/how rare it might be. On Monday, March 11, 2024 at 1:10:51 PM UTC-4 Ryan

"Figure this might be a long shot, but better to make it known here before starting to dig too deep into the corners of the internet." It's a great move to post here. Good luck with the search. Some of the models you mention are "expanded" with more of a TT slope vs others like the Saluki
