I'm thinking this would be a perfect fit for me, assuming it actually is a 52 cm frame. I'm 5'6", with a 79 cm PBH. I'm a little torn about getting a 26" bike, but I get why Riv uses smaller wheels for smaller frames.
I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase, because there's a lot of overlap between the Ram and my current bikes. I have an older Riv road standard, to cover the lugged steel Rivendell place in the stable. The problem with that bike is that I can't run tires larger than 28 mm. I got some great input on using supple tires with that bike, haven't tried that yet. I really want that spot to be filed with an Albatross barred bike, I don't know if the road standard will ever be great with those bars. One other issue with that bike is that it doesn't have any cream details, it's solid light blue. A great color, but I like the cream fills on the Ram. Then, I have an S&S coupled Lynskey Ti all-rounder, that can take up to 42 mm tires. The 3rd road bike in the garage is a 52 cm, 26" wheeled Surly Disc Trucker, that I only use for fully loaded touring. So, I guess I'm looking for input on whether I'd love this bike so much that I should give it a spot in my stable? It does feel like a good deal, given the stated condition. I'd have to drive a couple of hours to get it, but I think it would be worth the trip.
