A 62 cm Saluki would feel way smaller than a 64 cm Sam. There is at least a 4 degree difference in the amount that the top tube slopes up from seat lug to head lug, with Sam yielding a much higher handlebar. The horizontal lengths of top tube would be very different as well.
Approximately speaking, there are two families of Riv geometry, the almost level top tube (about 2 degrees) family and the expanded family (with about 6 degree upward slope of top tube.) This often means that if a frame in the former family fits well and its size is the number N in centimeters, the nominal size that would fit well in the latter family can often be something like N - 3 or N - 4. According to this logic, a person comfortable on a 62 cm Saluki might feel like a 64 cm Sam is something like 5 cm or so bigger than he is used to. -Jim W. > On Mar 10, 2018, at 7:14 AM, Dave Johnston <jdi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 62cm Saluki on ebay, but thats pretty close to the Sam in function. > https://www.ebay.com/itm/173206850815?ul_noapp=true > > -Dave > > On Thursday, March 8, 2018 at 11:57:14 PM UTC-5, Reid Echols wrote: > I love my 64cm Sam, but have been curious about trying another Riv.
