[RBW] Soma San Marcos size for 87.5cm PBH

Hi folks, I've taken a measurement of my PBH and I came with 87.5cm. I have a choice of Soma San Marcos frames - a 57 or a 59. I'm not sure which one to get. Does anyone out there ride a San Marcos of 57 or 59 with a similar PBH? The San Marcos geo is here:

Turns out that Riv HQ does not sell this frame anymore and even if you get one elsewhere they will not build one up because they say Soma has made changes to the frame. :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Soma San Marcos questions....

I would like to get my first Riv bike. I mainly plan to commute with this bike (17 mi roundtrip, hills) and do the occasional road ride. I have a neck pain issue and I am hoping a more upright position and fatter tires will help. I have a nice carbon road bike for fast rides, but I would like

Re: [RBW] soma san marcos?

I picked up a San Marcos 51 cm for my girlfriend (1G light blue paint, 650b wheels). The 650b model has ample tire clearance (38 mm plus fenders) but the 700c models are a little tighter (35 mm with fenders). The fork is slightly lower-spec tubing (Tange Infinity), not that you'd notice without

I was looking through Riv's site and saw they had a demo one. Are they not being sold anymore? It seems like a solid bike frame, and I hear it has lighter tubing than the Hillborne. Maybe a nice substitute for the A Homer Hilsen (in function as a club ride bike, not geo). I debated between

[RBW] Soma San Marcos or Sam Hillborne with Surly LHT parts

I have a Surly LHT that I am very happy with. The problem is that I want something that I can do light tours and club/group rides (not racing) with but that is a bit livelier than the LHT. How do you think a San Marcos or Sam Hillborne would ride if I bought the frame and swapped the LHT's

[RBW] Soma San Marcos or Sam Hillborne with Surly LHT parts

I agree with the lighter wheelset and would add supple tires such as a set from Compass. The Sam would probably be better for your camping/touring desires and the San Marcos would probably be better for the club rides. My personal preference is the Sam because I would feel comfortable doing

Re: [RBW] Soma San Marcos review @ Bicycle Times

The stiffness of the frame also makes a bike feel fast/reactive versus slow/inert, to me, anyway. In my brief ride on a Roadeo, it felt responsive and springy like a skinny tire road bike. But then again, it's pretty obvious that a lot of perceptions of fastness have a lot more to with looks
