Thanks for posting that!!! When the complete bikes were first shown months ago, I rendered the 52cm version in BikeCad to get some sense of how it would fit me. Not much was available on the geometry so I took some measurements from other RBW 650B bikes and simply guessed at others, based on comparing my rendering to the photo of the actual bike. Turns out, I was off 2cm on the chainstays, 1/2 degree on the head angle and 0.2% on the top-tube slope!
Here is a pretty accurate rendering of the 52cm Clem. I had to guess at the fork length which means the head tube is also a guess, based on how BikeCad works. RBW's reported top-tube lengths seem to be effective TT because I put it in BikeCad that way and the front-center came out right. This bike is set up with a 75cm saddle height, a 17 degree 90mm stem and MTB H-bar with 38mm of rise. This is pretty close to how I would fit on the bike, compared to my other bikes. I've spec'ed it with 50mm tires. The trail is fairly low for a Riv of this type and the bottom bracket height is just right. Overall, I find this a very interesting bike and would love to try one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/corwin1968/Riv%20Clem_zps6udiebox.jpg On Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 11:53:49 AM UTC-5, Tim Wood wrote: > > Hey all, looks like riv has posted the geometry chart on the Clem page. > Must have just went up.
