Sure, what do you want to know? The only thing I've ever measured are the Brobdingnagian chain stays, which if I remember correctly are 47.5 cm. But I can measure whatever you want, and offer the matching datapoint that the bike is a wonderful fit for me (~86 pbh). On Oct 19, 2013, at 9:28

That's cool about the Conquest returning. I've always thought that was a cool saddle in theory, so now maybe I'll get to try one, if I get around to buying it before they discontinue it again ;-). On Friday, October 18, 2013 8:33:39 PM UTC-7, Michael wrote:

Hi Pudge, I'm guessing that your proto-loosa's chain stays are longer than 47.5cm-- my 48-cm Hunqapillar has 46 cm chain stays. It looks from your Flickr pics that the chain stays are ~same length as the seat tube. The 58.7 cm appaloosa on the Riv site now seems also to have ~same chain stay

It's fairly easy to mount a pump so that it doesn't conflict with picking up the bike and shouldering it to carry the bike. Here's a photo that shows my Rivendell Road Standard with the pump (a Silca) mounted behind the seat tube using a Campy umbrella style pump holder.
