It’s funny, if you look under bikes and hit geometry there is an apology
that they are working on it but if you search geometry you get the above

We’ve always sold at fair prices on this forum, I have no issue with
someone telling him it is worth more. My only question is would he have
told him that if he would have shipped it?

Johnny, thanks, I have a Bleriot that is a tad large for me and a Hillborne
that fits well. With 48mm vs. 42mm tires I can say the Hillborne is a more
comfortable bike. I am not a fan of the very long wheelbase Rivs, the AHH
seems to not be ultra long. I ride with Choco bars on both bikes and
Other than sloping TT and a bit longer wheelbase I wonder how different
these will ride. I have a same with fat tires and I know these are
supposed to be close but I wonder.
Thanks

Beautiful bike. When I lived on Cortelyou Rd many years ago Brooklyn was
far from bike crazy but I did ride there. Sometimes road on the side of
the Belt Pkwy.

Daniel, I bought an Atlantis last summer and sold it in a month or less.
For me the long chain stays were not to my liking. I was lucky to find a
new Sam at a dealer before Riv got their last shipment in. I really like
the Sam Hillborne and run it with 48mm tires. It rides and handles great.
I really need to check this page more often.

You need to add the protection. I used framesaver on the last 2 bikes,
others like boshield. I am sure there are other products as well. .

I should’ve mentioned the Bleriot is the older Rivendell geometry so it’s
more like what would be a 52 cm for the measurements today.

The standover of my 51cm Sam with 48mm Switchback Hill tires is about
30.75”. My PBH IS 80.6 so I have a bit of room. Mt 55 cm Bleriot with 42mm
tires is a bit over 31.25” and is ok but tight. The TT on the Bleriot is
1cm shorter than the Sam so I use a stem that is 1cm less.
Hope this helps.
Why not just measure standover? Easy enough to measure from the floor
straight up to the middle of the top tube. I would think that would be a
good indicator of fit for the right person. I always try to go with
standover due to BB height, how Rivendell measures, etc. After owning 9+
Rivendell bik
I’m now 5’5”, used to be 5’7”. My 55 Bleriot is a tad larger (and tighter
but not too tight) than my 51cm Sam. My PBH is 80.6 (as close as I can
get). The 51 Sam is as big as I could go and I am using 48mm Rene Herse
tires (Switchback Hill) with no issues. The Bleriot has 42mm tires on it.
Thank you Emily.
