Hi Al,
I understood what you wrote just fine, I just flipped around the models
when I typed out my response.
Bikeinsights is a definitely a good resource. I wish they listed the stack
and reach for these bikes—the very slack seat tube angle on these models
distorts the ETT quite a bit. Still,
typo--I wouldn't recommend the XL for her long term, but I would recommend
the Large.

Ahh, yes, thank you for the clarification. I can easily see the confusion
with how I worded it. Bill, you are correct, the Susie/Gus will be notably
longer with their reach.
I could never quite get comfortable on my Jones due to feeling too
cramped. This is not a problem with Gus/Susie,
I interpreted Al's comment to mean that the Jones will be *shorter* than a
Rivendell Gus/Susie, not the other way around. The effective TT lengths
and front center dimensions for the Gus and Susie should be about the
longest of any bikes anywhere, because they are imagining you would want to
Hi Al,
Do you think the Riv’s cockpit is really that much shorter than the
Jones’s? It’s hard to understand this when both companies hide their geo
charts.
I was pretty comfy on my Jones with their bar and a 90mm or so stem. This
might make think more about the 56cm Slugstone.

Hey Eric,
You may recall that my numbers are just a couple inches more than yours and
I own/owned an XL/60cm Gus and a 59 Susie. I would comfortably recommend
either one of those larger sizes for you, especially if you are riding
Jones bars. I know you already know this, but it's worth
Hi Keith,
Good question on the bars. I would likely use either a Jones bar or a VO
Curvy (similar to the Nitto Wavie). I’m probably aiming for a little more
upright position—this won’t be my bike for hard charging.

89 PBH, 6'1", had a large and always wished it was a bit bigger, will get

What type of handlebar do you anticipate using, and how upright or
leaned-forward do you like to be? The answers to those questions might
help guide advice. I'm 6'-2"/87cm PBH and on a 56 - the first time in a
long while where I was NOT between sizes, so very happy.

I ride a large (56) Susie and it fits perfectly. I'm 5'10" with an 87.5
PBH and 75-76 saddle height. My PBH:reach ratio is a little off, so I run
a 30mm reach stem with my preferred trail riding bars to keep me a little
more upright. I've ridden the 53 and it was definitely too small. I
