I also was very reluctant to buy a frame 4cm bigger than anything else I had been riding for the previous 20 years. Went from a 57 cm Merlin to a 61cm Homer and will never look back. I'm now realizing how much a difference comfort and versatility mean to my cycling future. It was a leap, and admittedly a different style of riding, but one that I'm glad I made. My original concern about standover height has long since faded. I don't buy into everything Riv, but I'd recommend everyone take a closer look at what they represent.

That being said I have a Riv I'd be happy to show off. 66CM Atlantis Ethan Bickford On Jan 12, 8:32 am, Michael Rivers <mriver...@gmail.com> wrote: > Seth Vidal coined a new term: ECWLARBW in another post which stands > for East Coast With Limited Access to Rivendell Bicycle Works.
