I have three Rivs—a Saluki, a proto-bleriot SS, and a custom Appaloosa—and I love them all so I agree that you can't really go wrong. What I might add, though, is the one thing that varies between these bikes are wheel sizes and tire clearances. They are respectively: 650B up to 42mm, 650B up to 38mm, and 26" up to 55cm—all with room for fenders. Knowing what you want for tires is something to think about. At your size, looks like they'd all be 700 wheels, Both the Atlantis and the Hunq take up to 55mm but the sams "only" go up to 42.
Also, the Hung chainstays are a hair longer than just about all of the other bikes. Lots of discussion here on other threads about chainstay length; personally I'm now a fan of the looong chainstay, but I am also 5'2". here's the link to spec's: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjehUKAztnO8dEFRVEYxUWpxeXNPMHZMeDZINmNUMWc#gid=0 "Don't spend too much time on the Geometry Charts. Really." says Riv. Anyway, think about tire size. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
