David,
You are in Berkeley, you should BART over to RIv World HQ and test one out
on the local loop up in shell ridge (its dry and perfect riding conditions
right now!). Last I remember there is a 57 demo with billie/alba, but might
be worth calling them first before making the appointment.
Hi David,
I am 6'1 with a 91cm PBH and ride a 60cm Sam from the most recent batch
from 2022.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the size, but can't help but think about how
I'd feel in the 57cm. I've never felt "uncomfortable" on the bike, it's
definitely the comfiest bike I've ever owned, but it
That does seem to be a great deal, although there's no such thing as a 59cm
Ram. It's likely a 60cm, judging from the photo. Perfecto for a 6-footer
or just under. I could totally rock that, but I've got a 59cm Romulus now
(and a 59 Roadeo).

Thank you for the responses, everyone. I'm leaning towards getting a size
60 based on all of the feedback. I do envision running the Hillborne mostly
with flat or swept bars, and so it makes sense to prioritize that with the
sizing.

Anyone happen to have a 58cm Toyo Atlantis or Saluki that they are ready to

Cuddle Bears,
I think folks here would like to know where the frame and parts are
located, and if local pickup is an option.

Thanks for the kind words! I've been enjoying yours and Bill's and many
others' posts for years but I only rarely chime-in.
I have loved riding bikes since childhood, got my first drop-bars when I
was 8 (the Schwinn Bicentennial 10 speed), and yet my club riding phase was
also late (40-45)

Valerie, well you’re an undiscovered treasure. I haven’t had the privilege

I’m 6’1 with a 91 PBH. My 60 Appaloosa fits perfectly with swept back bars.
I had a 61.5 Homer (newer one, for which the top tube is really long) and
it was way too much reach for drops for me (long legs, short torso, not
particularly flexible). I replaced the 61.5 Homer with a 58 and the fit

I find Rivendells sizing based on PBH to oversimplify getting a good bike
fit. They are very smart but they also have their preferences and I think
most of the time their suggestions lean on that preference more than it
should. The smaller size will be way easier to fit with drops if you really
For your reference I’m about 6’1 with a 92 pbh and i ride a 60 appaloosa
w/swept backs, and would not want to go smaller. However i have no interest
in putting drops on that bike, I’m guessing sam might have a slightly
shorter top tube than Joe. hesitant to tell you what you should do,

maybe they're offering a lugged Roadini to reduce the demand for lugged
MN-built Roadeos with their long wait times? And offer another alternative

The quest for the "perfect shift", is in itself the very error it claims to
be "correcting". It denies the perfect shift(action) as existent, rather
claiming that it "depends" on certain "conditions" in order to
exist/happen. In other words it claims "one needs what I'm selling you" in
order
My recommendation is to go with the 60 Sam. You said you want to ride with
swept back bars and use it for mostly commuting and general riding. Based
on your described use case I'd say go with the 60 all day long. If someday
you want to ride the Sam with drops you could still do so with a short
The problem with trying trying to eliminate "error" in shifting is that it
is in itself the very error it claims to be set right. The error is that
there is an error exists in the first place. You can't eliminate what
