Re: [RBW] Test Fit Rides

[James Warren]

Judging by your 95 cm PBH, 62 cm Hillborne would be good, and 67 cm AHH would probably be a little better.

 

(The 67 AHH is only effectively about 1 cm bigger feeling compared to the 62 Hillborne. This is because the Hillborne's top tube slopes up 6 degrees while the AHH's only slopes up 1.5 degrees. Every degree adds about a centimeter of headlug height.)

 

Using Albatross's adds some flexibility in the sizing.

 

I have a 93 cm PBH, and I enjoy my just-a-hair-too-big-for-me 62 cm Hillborne with Albatross bars. It's pretty amazing actually.

I once rode a 67 AHH for a few minutes, and it is too big for me. A 65 cm AHH is just about perfect for me, and my 64 cm Rambouillet is an ideal drop bar bike for my size. Obviously, I'm only giving you some crude numbers to compare to, since we only have PBH for comparison.

 

Have fun! You're gonna settle on a great bike.

Good Day. Test rode a Sam down in Portland. A little small. John will try
to get a 62 up to his stable to try. Looking to find out what size Sam
Hillborne or A Homer Hilsen is best fit for me. nearly 75" tall, PBH about
95cm, 55years old and want an upright ride, Albatross?. 8mile commute, 20+
mile recreational rides, hope for longer tours as retirement looms. Anyone
near Tacoma Wa. willing to lend a bike for a ride around the block?
