Hello Patrick,
Thanks for sharing that. Simple and straightforward guide to replicating a
fit.
I see though you never mentioned the "reach" on the bikes - does it remain
the same as well? In all honesty, I do not yet understand what reach
signifies but it seems to be important. I read in an articl

Peter,
Regarding #3, if you really want to run drop bars, I would call them and
discuss. The frames are generally designed around upright bars these days
and that was NOT the case 10-15 years ago. Drops can be done but I would

Don't over think it too much! Riv's ride so well and are built to be ridden

I have two 650 bikes in the house. I have an old Trek 510 that I did a 650b
conversion on that has Velocity A23s. My wife has a Platypus with Velocity

stem length thing, I've heard plenty of others disagree, but I have no
Thank you everyone for your beautiful and very helpful responses. Wonderful
to be in a community... (referring to a bit from what Andy said - I did

quite guilty asking too many questions and then get lost in my no-decisio
Great post, Andy. Appreciate you taking the time to write out your evolution in cycling. I’m encouraged that you have landed on two bikes (Rambo and the randonneur) that continue to exceed expectations. It’s also instructive to hear about the many bikes you tried and passed on. For those of us who
Fit was what brought me to dial Grant at RBW. I have your same physiology
and production bikes have never been optimal for me. Reaching an effective
seated pedaling position and not having a huge drop or reach to the bars
felt like a crusade and before the internet you had to carefully consider
