I don't think your height is that exceptional within the Rivendell
ownership community. For example I am 6'7 and I know of others who are
similar or even taller.
The staff at Riv is very, very good at what they do. Give them a call. If
they recommend a specific frame, you can be assured it

One other thing Patrick: The thick 3M tape becomes very gooey over time,
and will get all over your frame and imbed the strap with goo. It makes a
mess. Buy the cheaper thinner rubber tape. It stays 'tape' and doesn't goo

Which rack are you using? Does it have an eyelet for a light mount? You
may be better off with the small, curved mount from Rene Herse (Boulder

Doubtless of interest to RBW listers. Quoted from the Compass blog for
those who don't read it or BQ.
I'll be very interested myself, as someone hitherto convinced that
retention is a great help. If tests show that retention doesn't help, I'd
probably still keep retention on my fixed gears, for

for lighter loads. I have installed lots of them and swear by them.
