How much would a new pair of knickers have to be?

Most of the bolts on bikes are M5. A few are M6, such as stem bolts on
classic stems, and the bolt that goes through the fork crown to attach
a fender. I don't think M4s are typically used.
I find useful lengths to be 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25mm. Make sure you get
stainless.

If the bike feels great and fits right when you're riding it, THAT'S
what matters. I truly need a 57 cm frame, but my Ram is a 58. A 56
would have been a case of me falling into my old habits of buying too
small; and the 58 fits great when I ride. Stick with Grant's standover

If you can get the saddle high enough and the bars where you want them
you are good. A thicker pair of shoes will help. Now if you are a off
road type then you might think about more stand over. For a smooth
road rider I've never found it to be a problem. I have two bikes that
fit similar.

So if there's not much interesting to talk about on a given day (stuff that
would signal as opposed to noise), then there should be fewer total posts that
day. That's a good thing, because the signal-to-noise ratio stays high.

Also,
Remember that the Hillborne has a rising geometry, and is thus a 56 at
the seatpost but closer to a 59 in the center where you stand over
it... so as for a hilsen you may want a 58...

to the early 70's when I was just beginning to get serious about
riding. I am 5' 9, but have a SOH of about 30.5 (in theory, I

What I find irritating are the too polite motorists. They will wave
me through a 4 way stop when it is their turn to go. They will stop
and wave me across three other lanes of busy traffic as if everyone
will stop
Agree with JimD, the cyclo-commute is not convenient but I try not to
let that stop me and frankly things are pretty well set up for me to
ride:

-have shower/locker facilities available to me in my office building
-a safe place to lock
But it is a list about Riv stuff and nothing but Riv stuff (and how we use it,
which is- to me- often the more interesting discussion).

How does the Toyo built Atlantis differ in quality and/or geometry
from the Waterford edition? Exclude differences in braze-ons,
kickstand plate and range of sizes.
In other words, what, if anything, was gained or lost by the change in
builder?
