Well, the 48 cm Sam Hillborne might have been a good fit! I’m also 5’0”. But
I’m going down to Portland this week to get fitted for my Speedvagen. :) Thanks
anyways!

Hi Drw,
Of course everyone's experience varies, but my 48cm Sam Hillborne has an
ETT of 54cm, and even with swept-back handlebars the bike just felt too big
to me (I'm 5'2"). We converted it to drops for my 5'8" boyfriend and he
absolutely loves the bike -- rides it for everything.
It's great
Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but what about a 48cm Sam
Hillborne? My partner is like 5’0” and her’s fits great.

Yeah, I decided to scrap the drop bar idea for the cheviot. I’m sure it would
have been too big. I’ll keep it as is and see if I use it. Actually, I’ve
decided to splurge and am getting a custom Speedvagen!

Just beware the Cheviot is for upright bars and therefore has a longer top
tube. For drops you may want a shorter top tube. Let us know what you get. I
have a small Soma Grand Rand frame if that looks interesting.

The BMC Road + looks great! Thanks for that.
That comparison site you sent is really helpful, Jonathan. Really cool site. I
wish it showed the Hilsen in a 46. I also compared my cheviot to the roadini
and the cheviot is way longer, so maybe a roadini is something to consider.

The BMC Road+ has some interesting geometry. If you look at the effective
reach and standover you will see that most riders ride a size WAY smaller.
Where I would normally ride a 53 or 54 the suggested size from Mike at BMC
for me would be the 47 frame. So that 44 probably rides much closer t
Black Mountain Cycles has a 44 Road Plus frame that would be great.

Another suggestion for shorter riders: check out the high-quality
"children's" bike companies. Generally speaking, the geometry is designed
for and parts picked for shorter riders rather than some bike companies
which try to shrink existing bikes for shorter riders. (This is also what

Hey GE! Thanks for the update. I will keep looking.
And hi again to you, Liz! Well, they did make the Hilsen in a 46, but stopped.
Guess there aren’t enough of us shorties out there to keep them going. I do
have a Cheviot that I’m going to put some drop bars on even though it’s made to

I just measured my wife's 47 cm Atlantis. The TT actual lengh is over 51
cm, so it's likely the effective length is 52. She is 5'2" & has no room

A couple of years ago, Rivendell found 2) 44cm Atlantis' they had forgotten
about. Give them a call on that if it
The effective top tube length of the 47cm Roadini is 51.5 - shorter than
the 52 I see quoted for the Homer. Wheel size is 650B important for a small

Chainstay is 45 deg. wheelbase is 1009.2mm. This bike was not mine - I am a
You guys are helpful! Thanks for the intel, Sean!
Laing, not sure if the Roadini is quite what I’m looking for, but send me the
details and I’ll take a look. Thanks!

Hi again, Rachel,
If you think that the 47 Saluki would be too big for you (and assuming that
you are interested only in a road-bike set-up), then I don't think there's
anything that Rivendell makes that would work. As far as I'm aware, the
smallest effective-top-tube they've ever made in any s
G.E. here! :-) The Saluki sold really quickly, and I'm not sure if I still
have the contact info. His name was Eric, I remember that much, and he
seemed really happy with the bike (he did send a follow up note, as I
recall, just to let me know that he was enjoying it), so I'm not sure that

The blog EndlessVeloLove had a 47cm Saluki they sold like two years ago:

They also post here sometimes as G.E. It might be worth shooting them a
message, if they still have the buyer's info, maybe they co
My 47 Roadini is still for sale.

Thanks for sharing that thread, Liz. That bike would be too big for me too! I
searched lconley and didn’t find anything about other bikes dams.
I did call Riv, and basically my only option is a custom. Darn! You’re lucky
you got one of those, Shoji!

Hi Rachel,
Did you call Riv? Sometimes they find frames in their storage.
Good luck! I love my [Toyo-made] AHH.

Hi Rachel,
Take a look at Laing Conley's post (lconley) from not too long ago for a
47cm Roadini. That wasn't what you were looking for, but it sounded like
she might have other bikes around that size that might be looking for homes.
