This is so helpful and so interesting. You are taller than me by half an inch, and you have the 45, which I would never have considered my size. I need to go re-measure my PBH if yours is only 81...
It’s good for everyone to know that lengthened 45 still fits on public trans - thanks for that! I’m married to a man whose job moves us every few years, and so while I’m not using buses presently, I may very well face this at our next location. Maybe I should have gotten the 45. How do you feel on his 52? Just curious. And lastly, you win the prize today. You have a “windy day” Rivendell bike. I just know I would love you. ❤️ Sent from my iPad > On Jan 6, 2020, at 4:06 AM, Dorothy C <dorothycr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > My son has the 52 2019 Clem L, and I later that year built up a 45cm Clem L > frame for myself.
