For a data point, my wife was able to ride my Schwinn High Sierra without any complaints. It measures at 20" (~50.8cm) C-T seattube TT is 56.5cm, and at the time was outfitted with a 120mm Deluxe steam and Albatross bars. So, my thinking was, add 1 cm to the seat tube, I'll check and see how her saddle height was on the High Sierra, but, it has the monstrously tall original Viscount foam saddle. A lower profile saddle would effectively gain her a cm or two. Honestly, I'm more worried about reach than saddle height. She seemed fine with the Albas, but the 52 Clem has a TT almost 5cm longer. I'm guessing this could negated with a 100mm stem and some Choco bars.
I don't know, if Grant can ride a 60cm Cheviot, which the Riv chart would have him barely squeezing on, and call it his smoothest riding, nearly favorite bike, I wonder why the same couldn't happen with my wife and the 52 Clem L? Something to chew on I guess... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
