Thanks for the insight, links, careful eyes, and kind words. So it's a 54 or 56, probably a 56. We'll measure to be sure. BTW, a few years ago, when the riders legs were straight and he wasn't stooped over, he seemed very happy with the size of the frame! (And he was measured, and the shop and

That would require raising that aesthetically challenged stem even further. The seatpost looks fine, a handful plus; this post does not have a nice flow, and the color changes 2/3 of the way up, where the head is pressed in, making it appear shorter than it is. I remember in grade school

Yeah, I have the exact same bike/frame from the same period and it's a 54. Looking at the pics of this one, the distance from the pump peg on the head tube to the lower lug is greater than the distance from the peg to the top lug. The distance on mine is equal for both. Therefore, I'm

Ny guess is 54 or 56. The tape will tell. Should be very easy to sell on this forum!! -- 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

It's either a 56cm or 54cm by the looks of the headtube. Orange is the best color! -Dave On Tuesday, December 26, 2017 at 3:53:18 PM UTC-5, Jamie Poolos wrote: > > Hi, any idea where on the frame the size might be shown? Specifically, for > a Rambouillet about 12 years old. -- You received

Thanks, all. Thought it might be stamped on the seat tube. It’s my dad’s bike. I sold a motorcycle and bought it for him for xmas years ago. He put a couple thousand miles on it every summer til he fell off and broke his hip two years ago at 87. I’d keep it if it weren’t too big for me, but I’m

Pretty sure there was a 50 but don’t think there was a 48. The smaller sizes (52 and under) had 26 inch wheels. Cheers! Chris -- 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

If it’s greater than 52 cm and you don’t get an even number, you’re doing it wrong. I don’t remember the small sizes though. All even sizes 54 and up were made, all the way to 68. Might have been even in the smallest as well. I seem to recall 50’s existing. I can’t find my old brochure. Buried

Yes, measurement is to the TOP of the seat tube or, more accurately, to the top of the lug measured at the SIDE of the seat tube. (Scalloped shape makes it confusing.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

It's shown on a ruler held parallel to the seat post, measuring from the center of the bottom bracket (crank bolt) to somewhere above. I believe Rivendell measures to the top of the seat tube. But if you posted a picture I'd bet many here could make a good guess of it by eye. -Kai BK NY On
