Gotcha.
Well, it turned out great.
Love that you have some touch up too.

Thanks! Pantone 7558 is the closest, but Rick matched the color to the frame.

Thanks Mackenzy, that makes sense. I’ll give it a try.

Wow. You all are amazing. I've got sizing info, plenty of other models to
check out, and many ideas for builds. Those Soma are kind of cool. The
Schwinn are available. Never heard of SR. I don't have Eric's skill, and
I'm 100% she doesn't want me to commit the time to get there. (Although I
I'm right there with you, Garth. The best way for me to estimate fit is to
compare stack/reach and other frame dimensions to any of my current bikes
that fit me well. I also wish Rivendell would be more forthcoming with that
information. I get that they're trying to make things easier/simpler
It just looks dynamite Matthew!
What a fantastic color.
I can't wait to see it built up.
I'm on the edge of my chromatic seat though. Which did you end up going
with?! 126 or 7558?
(My guess is the latter)

((( Laughing )) I hate it when anyone asks "what's your pbh ?" It's
like asking "what's your sign ?" As if it means what ... ?
Going by crotch height alone totally ignores/assumes what frame reach
someone may want/need. If you're a everyday cyclist it's very helpful to
teach yourself
I wonder if brass crimp clamps would work?
Brokebike — Yeah, I appreciate buying from McMaster and getting US made
brass bolts but at $5+/each, well, that's really nuts. I mean... bolts. I
mean *crazy*.

Ive found most swept back angles bars dependent on height and sweep.
I like losco's quite level and a bit lower. Toscos felt great with the stem
higher, but the bars angled down more since they have more flair.
If I recall the toscos do have longer ramps (total distance back) with less
sweep
I just recently found some "hemi orange" engine paint at canadian tire that
was *acceptably close* to clementine orange which is maybe close to the
appaloosa orange. It's a common color for car folks so can't imagine it too
hard to find wherever you live. Places (auto stores) often have "touch
I think the PBH guideline is intended to be imperfect as are bodies. If one
wanted exact physiological measurements you can goto a bike fitter and get
exact measurements. With PBH it provides a wide margin of fit based on
aesthetic preferences (or wheel size) within those margins as presented

I would recommend a Handsome Devil step-through aka She Devil. It's going
to have a little more lively steering than a Riv due to lower trail. The
frame itself is also not as nice and a little heavier than a Riv
Platy/Betty, but it still has very clean welds. No lugs. You could also

Last year, we had a Soma Buena Vista mixte built up for my wife, and it is
an incredible bike. So much so, that I often find myself riding it around
the neighborhood when she's unaware. She rides the same size frames as me
(54cm), but she doesn't like the height of traditional top tubes, so we
Eric Marth posted a really nice video of the SR mixte he rebuilt for his
partner. Converted the original 27" wheelset to 700c. Came out
beautifully. A good reminder of the utility of older bikes, if they were
well cared for.

The other alternative is to simply solder the connections (since its brass)
rather than rely on the twine-knot method normally used (which definitely
gives a very solid connection. I'm hesitant to try this on thin aluminum
handlebars though...
I'm looking forward to the more muted color too,
As much as I love finding parts on McMaster and Bolt Depot, sourcing brass
M5 bolts can get pretty pricey. I recently searched eBay and the dreaded
Amazon and was finding similar quality brass bolts for like $12 per
10-pack. They come from China mind you, but if you really wanted a good
supply
Hey now, I like these brass and copper wire wraps!
I would think that wrapping the wire tight and finishing it by twisting two
ends together somehow would hold in place pretty well. I might have to
experiment.
Will look great once it starts to weather!

Hi Ryan, I think we may have been in touch when I was researching the Imron
Harvest Gold color.
I'll make a new post to detail specifics since this thread isn't about the
sale of this frameset,
but to answer your question: I didn't intend to sell it but I'm trying to
reduce the amount of
Here's the orignal geo for the Foy. Rivendell never posted any stack/reach
info for the Betty. If your wife likes the Betty, stick with that. I can
see why as the paint job is awesome. There's nothing worse than asking for
cookies and someone offers you saltines.

As someone who hasn't ridden for 8 weeks because of a serious knee injury,
I am very sorry to hear this. Best of luck with sale.
+1 to Gus making a great E-bike, bottom bracket mounted E-motors are easy
to find and don't require any other modifications to a current setup.
