Hi JL:
Got the wheels back on the bike, and measured the standover at 97cm, that
is with 700c x 40 Schawalbe Duremes.

PBH 100!? My god man, I could do chinups on the top tube! LOL (and yes,
I know what kind of comments I'd get if I posted this on Bikesnob. But
we're more civilized, no?)

That is an excellent question, and I will measure it once I get back
to town (Sunday) and get the wheels back on it (being serviced as we
speak, trip was a good time to take them off line). My PBH is 100,
and this bike is definitely not too small!

Jim,
Welcome!
I really dig the light and lean build you have in those pictures. No
doubt the AHH is a great ride, with the addition of the saddle sack
and other bits you must be commuting in style.
I ride considerably smaller bikes. I used to own a 54cm RIvendell

Jim,
What is the standover height on your bike? Is it 96.5 as listed in
the most recent geometry chart? (tires would effect that, just
curious what you are working with) It must be the up-sloping top tube
on the Bombadil that put it higher.

Hi Jim,
Welcome to the group, and congrats on your AHH! It's a beautiful bike, and
you've got some beautiful countryside, there.
Kudos to Rivendell for making their amazing bikes available for such a wide
range of people sizes.

For you REALLY tall guys, I have a 75 cm (c-t) Osell custom hanging in my

That's fantastic. I feel for that guy Those giant Panasonic frames
show up on craigs list and e-bay from time to time.

So to get into the tall riders club, is there a height bar like the
amusement parks? "You must be at least this tall to go on this ride."
Kudos to Rivendell for producing bikes for everyone. My 5'-2" tall
wife loves her 47 cm Atlantis. None of that "...XS-S-M-L-XL-XXL..."
sizing business.

The Geo Charts say a 72cm Homer has a 96.5cm standover. Guessing at the
headset stack and the stem quill length, I'm getting the tips of your
brakelevers up to just over 4 feet high. That's basically identical to my
3rd grade daughter's height.

Wow.thanks for all the kind words, guys! I really am enjoying the
ride.
@ Marty. I'll definitely get it up on that flicker group. Nice set of
bikes there!
@ Forrest No name yet. Easy enough to just call it "Homer",not like
there are a bunch of them around here ;-)

Welcome, and fantastic bike. First thing that popped into my mind
when I looked at the profile shot was how incredible the space between
the rack and saddle for a saddle bag. Or even just bags in general
all over this bike, or the creativity one could explore with down tube
or under tube shifter
Jim, Welcome to the group and thanks for the intro and photos. That's
quite an impressive bike. As one from the other end of the height
spectrum, I too appreciate Rivendell's range. Especially their promotion
of the 650b wheel size, as it is better for small frames. I know you will
enjoy yo
Beautiful...sure doesn't look slow... And the more I see them the more I love

That is absolutely correct. I was seriously thinking about a custom,
probably a Gunnar Grand Tour, but when you see the Riv frames, and you know
they are "right", and they are beautiful, it felt like the right decision
from the get-go.

It's the longest seat tube, but interestingly enough, the 68cm Bombadil has
higher standover.

Congrats on the new ride. "First new bike in 40 years" WOW! You
really like to work 'em to death? Well, no way are you going to wear
this one out.
If the 2TT discussion ever comes up again, I submit the photo as
Exhibit A to the question "Why?". At least for a Really Big Frame.
doug
Great looking bike Jim. I'm guessing you have spent a great deal of your
life searching for things like shoes and chairs which fit your frame. It
must be enormously satisfying to find a bike that fits and performs, as
well as looks so good.
Keep the rubber side down,

I was going to say "nice bike" but I think "awe-inspiring" would be
more accurate. I got my Rivendell because I couldn't find anyone else
who designs bikes for tall people. I think they cover small people as
well.
I wonder if that is the biggest production bike they have made?
