My PBH is 81cm. The 51cm Appaloosa is slightly bigger than the 50cm Atlantis. They both are well within the geometry range I find comfortable. I like riding the Atlantis around the town, busy streets etc. For longer rides 51cm Joe has been my default pick.
In fact 46cm Appaloosa is almost identical to 50cm MIT Atlantis. For my utility bike (the one with rocks, basket and fenders) I like 26" wheel better. Why go from 50cm Atlantis to 46cm Appaloosa? Two reasons (1) color (2) my inexplicable liking for those bolts in Appaloosa fork crown :) On Wednesday, 13 February 2019 15:21:15 UTC-8, ed wrote: > > Hi Ash, > > Could you tell me your pbh? > Is both 51 Appaloosa and 50 MIT Atlantis too big for you? > > Regards, > Es > > On 14 Feb 2019, at 5:29 AM, Ash <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: > > Selling two Rivs to build two new Rivs. > > > For now Bay Area only, until I figure out shipping logistics. > > MIT Atlantis 50cm Frame - $1,100 > > 2017 green 51cm Joe Appaloosa - $1,525 > Frame only - $925 > > - Rich built Velocity Atlas wheels with SP dynohub and VO Grand Cru rear > hub > - Pasela tires (less than 200 miles) > - Sugino wide/low crankset > - XT 9 speed RD > - XT cassette 11-34t > - Microshift 9 speed thumb shifters > - Deore V-brakes > - Tektro brake levers > - Nitto Dirtdrop stem > - Sunlite Northroad Touring Handlebar > - Bikeroo saddle > - Origin 8 removable grips > - Clem Smith Pedals > > Will post pictures when the weather gets better (not enough space indoors > to take good pictures) > > Replacing the 50cm MIT Atlantis with the last available 46cm Appaloosa > frame I bought today. > MIT AHH will replace the green Appaloosa. > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected] <javascript:>. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > <javascript:>. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
