looking for. I'm going to swing by later this week!

Hey Mike,
Great pics! Now you got me thinking about taking the QB on tomorrow's
ride...
BTW, you should be able to swap out the solid bolt-on axle for a QR
one, without too much trouble. I did just that with my Surly hubs on
the karate monkey a while back. I recommend the old "enclosed cam"
Q
Or "The Funny Looking One."
Yah.

If you're in the Valley Ford, Occidental, Monte Rio area you're in

Hi Franklyn,
Clayton here. I would be very happy if you could send me the backroads way

I have done this many times. You can start in the City after getting
across the Bay, then go through fairfax to nicasio, then go to
Petaluma, then takes Old Redwood Hwy (parallel to 101) all the way to
santa rosa. You can also stay west of petaluma in the back roads
through sebastopal then take the

I can run a 100mm stem but then I get pain in my neck as I'm not so
flexible anymore. I believe that unless one is sort of
disproportionate, Riv bikes fit really well based on PBH. Make some
allowances for flexibility if you will. With your PBH being lower than
mine, I'd say we're both ridin
Hi all
does anyone here know the standover height on a 61 cm Riv road. Top
tube length is not a concern, as I have a long torso and long arms.
I am 6' and have a 87cm PBH ( just strong of 34")
Another consideration would be doing a 650b conversion

I think that a 59cm is on the tall side of the range for someone 5'
9". As Seth said ,standover is usually secondary to the Top tube
measurement. Of course stem length and saddle setback can adjust for
minor ( 1-2cm) differences. I usually try to start with the top tube
measurement and a 100mm stem
I'm 5'11" with PBH of 89.5 and ride a 61cm AHH with 35mm tires and a
61cm Atlantis with 50mm tires. The Atlantis with the 50mm tires is
quite taller, but gives me enough clearance. Bigger tires, assuming
they'd fit would make it uncomfortable but still rideable.
