Hey Will thanks! That's exactly what I was after. Re: the non published weight limits/tether advice, I wonder if it's because of failures that happened? Either way I don't plan to put a ton of weight on it. I think it'll be alright. On Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at 4:30:26 AM UTC-8 Will M

Thanks for all the input. Note I'm wanting to compare my 58 Atlantis to a 55 Platy so I'm "downsizing". Currently the Atlantis has 70 mm Dirtdrop & MAP Ahearne bars so the hands are a bit behind the stem, & I wouldn't mind them being even closer. Good to hear that the front wheels have gotten

These frames really do play better with more swept back bars… specifically any of the “_osco” bar models. I wouldn’t want anything more forward than the Toscos on my Gus… the frames are just too long for anything else, IMO.On Feb 7, 2023, at 9:10 PM, Joe Bernard wrote:You're all set. Your

I am no bike geometry expert & I’ve really only ridden one Rivendell, my size 52 Clem “L”. I am not counting my size 57 Gus as I’ve only ridden it (sans brakes) down the street to check fit. It has a lot in common with the Clem, obviously.I think there is a lot more to this design formula than

Also note depending on the swept back bars, rivs lineup have gotten further back. Albatross or albastache are fairly short. Tosco, Billie, and losco are considerably more swept back. Likely in conjunction with longer top tubes. I have a 64cm clem jr and a 59 clementine. I find it easy to

@ Zac: The 32F on my Quickbeam routinely exceeds the 4.4-lb load. I'd go with Analog's 15-lb limit. As load increases, slow-speed steering weirdness becomes the constraint long before one worries about rack integrity. Using archive.org, I just took a peak at
