TCO is a problem to me which I have learned to live with with all the Rivendell models I have owned. But this does not leave me less sensitive to GP's choice of words on this matter either. I hope Rivendell Bicycle Works will put out a chart or a table indicating at what size(s) among their models is TCO not going to be "a problem" even with a size 12 feet or shoes. Or even a smaller size if 12 is a bigger average. Some may tell me that I should tell this directly to RBW. But I thought since GP started this subject on this forum, I can propose it here.
