I have a 60cm CC and a 62cm Rambouillet and 63cm Hilsen. The 60cm Surly feels a tad out of whack because the head tube is short, making it difficult to get the bars at the right height. I did try a 62cm CC years ago and it felt way too big but that was before I had a Riv. I definitely wouldn't get a 62cm CC even now. Because of the higher BB height the CC feels odd with large tires on it.
If I were going to do it over again I'd get an LHT which has a much taller headtube. Why don't you just couple the Bleriot you have? --mike On Jun 30, 12:25 pm, Bill Connell <bconn...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 2:11 PM, Gino Zahnd<ginoza...@gmail.com> wrote: > > For those of you who ride a Rivendell, and also ride a Surly Cross Check or > > Travelers Check, what are the sizing differences? > > > It looks like top tube is going to be the best bet on sizing a Surly, but if > > you know of any amazing secrets, please let me in! > > > I'm currently trying to decide whether or not to couple one of my Rivs for > > all the travel I do, or to just build up a Surly Travelers Check. > > I have both - i ride a 65cm Redwood and a 62cm CrossCheck, and the fit > is very similar.
