I don't really know for sure if the appa will work w drops, but i think it will, otherwise i prolly wouldn't be interested in it. The other rivendell option would be a 61cm atlantis. The stack and reach numbers b/w it and the 55cm appa are pretty similar. But if those numbers are similar, then the deciding factors for me are standover and asthetics. The 61cm atlantis is 85.1 as per the geo chart and will tells me the 55 appa is 83.5. I can tolerate up to 88cm, but i prefer it low, like the 84cm on my saluki. So i do tend to think the appa w drops should work. The saluki's top tube is 59.5. the appa's is 59.8 w a stack of 618 and a reach of 381.7 or something close. I feel confident enough that those numbers should work for me with drops that i'd be willing to buy one.
And if i do and then take it for a spin and it turns out i was wrong, i promise to post here at length about it, gnash me teeth, rend my clothes, and wail my misfortune to all, so as to save any other foolish souls from making a similar mistake :) Sky in new west -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
