RJ, my PBH is 80. I have a 51 Sam and a 53 Atlantis. The Sam gives me a bit more stand over but both fit and ride beautifully. Sam has drop bars; Atlantis has Albatross. As long as you get the right sizing, whatever Riv you purchase will be an enjoyable ride. And two thumbs up for Hampstead

I meant keep a second bike for me at WORK. This is too aggressive for me, so I've passed. Perhaps good for you. I have been looking for used Rivs on Craigslist, so I can keep a second bike at home. I don't know much about Bridgestone bikes, but I've seen this for a few weeks and it's still

I think I purchased the last 51 Joe A from Gravel and Grind (it IS a cool shop) in April, but if they have one, that would be great for you. It's a wonderful bike! My next favorite was the Atlantis, but that was out of my budget. And, I don't even do any touring! I have been looking for

I called all of the dealers lsted when I was looking for my 2017 Joe. This was after the 51 went out of stock on the Riv site. VERY few of them out there and like I mentioned a few left over 2016's but I'm guessing they are gone by now since it has been a few months now. Several dealers were

The Clem is a similar bike and might work as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. To post

Based on the size of that RB-1 I think the 46 Appaloosa would work for you, especially if you're using Moustache/Albastache bars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

I'm in between sizes on the Appaloosa. I asked a fellow list member what the standover on his 51cm Appaloosa was; he measured 77.5cm with 42mm tires. On Monday, July 17, 2017 at 5:12:20 PM UTC-4, RJ March wrote: > > This is my first post and I have been driven to it by a (mild) > desperation.

I called around but haven't had any luck. Gravel and Grind hasn't gotten back to me yet though. They seem like a cool shop. On Monday, July 17, 2017 at 11:04:48 PM UTC-4, J Imler wrote: > > Have you contacted any other dealers? I visited Gravel and Grind in > Maryland recently and saw

Call all the dealers. There's a new dealer in NH or Maine. Perhaps they have one? Look at Riv's web site for dealer listing. Riv is in business to sell bikes and make people happy. I think they'd have a lot more happy people with another run of Appaloosa's. Boy, did they sell out fast!
