I did this (650B) on my 1st year Riv road, and it worked out great. The Longlow
and the road have similar geometry
>From Grant's write up cited on Cyclofiend:
"The the RIVENDELL LONG LOW...similar to road, but slightly shallower head tube
and made for longer reach brakes. Reach went from high forties (in the ROAD) to
mid-50s in the LONG LOW."
My actual BB dim is 7 1/8" from the floor with 33.4mm Maxy Fasty tires on 650B
wheels. Beth, like me, does not use long crank arms (mine are 170) and pedal
strike has never been an issue.

BB's already pretty low probably.
