Above all you really have to know yourself as no one else can. Sure, someone can measure your body in all sorts of ways but this omits the most important thing of all , the riders sense of themselves: balance on and within the bike is but one example. Call it intangibles if you will, and they are infinite. Two bodies can be the exact same measurements but that's just superficial and further inquiry would always reveal differences/preferences of varying degrees from "similar" to "night and day".
Riv and every other bike seller do what they can to steer you in a direction as it's in their best interest of course but just remember it's by no means absolute, it's merely as suggestion based on their preferences which is the best anyone can offer another. With production bikes they can never fit everyone all the time and certainly not the same way. It is what it is :) Fortunately there are lots of bikes to choose from and customs too. Even these days you can get full custom frames for quite a reasonable price comparable to that of a Sam. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
