This is a good point. Tom, if you can ride a 60cm SH, You could probably ride a 62cm or 58cm Hunqapillar, but which you prefer depends on the kind of fit you are looking for. I think standover clearance is not the most important thing- it's how it feels when riding. As you point out you have to consider ST angle and TT length, etc. On the 62cm frame the TT is about 64cm I think (the geo chart lists 62.5, but I remember there was mention of lengthening it for the final version), whereas on the SH the TT is 61cm. But, these numbers really mean nothing compared to actually riding the bike. I think this calls for loading up your SH and heading out to Rivendell to give the HP a try! :D As one more data point, I ride a 64cm quickbeam and a 56cm bombadil. They couldn't fit better to me- incidentally they have the same TT length and ST angle, and feel very similar. I have tried a 60cm bombadil, but the 60cm felt way too big for me and the kind of riding I do. My saddle height is 79cm or thereabouts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
