35-27 = 8 8/2 = 4 so the height of the bike should only go up by about 4mm. 84.2 Now - a person with an 84cm pbh has that while barefoot. Normally, you don't bicycle barefoot. So factor in whatever the avg height of the soles on some shoes - normally 1-1.5cm is not ridiculous. so now their standover is clear by about a cm. It's not much - but it should be enough. I think the thing you should be thinking about, though, is TT length. Is your friend going to be all kinds of stretched out? Figure out that dimension, too. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
