Max, good question, and the one I'm pondering too. I would assert that the Riv fit method favors road riding, Or at least not majority singletrack riding. This is based on owning (or having previously owned) a 61 Roadini, 59 Clem H, 62 SimpleOne, 64 Atlantis, and 58 Sam. Plus MTBs from other manufacturers.
My PBH is 90.5. When I straddle my 64 Atlantis with 2.1 Nano's, the top tube is "right up in there", as in, about a mm shy of my PBH. I don't care ... I love that bike and I only ride it on the road. I hope I never have to sell it. When I straddle my 58 Sam (currently for sale), which has a standover of 85.6cm (measured with the 38 Kendas at 45 lbs on Alex DM18 rims). That height is fine for roadish riding, but is still a bit 'high" for the singletrack in my area. Thus my estimate that something with a max standover of 84 or less would be ok. So, for me, PBH minus 6.5cm might make sense for singletrack-favored riding...which means a standover of 83-84ish cm. Others may be more or less conservative. Therefore, I'm gonna seek out more details on a 56 hunq, which according to Stephen (who had one), had a standover of 84.4 with cliffhangers and 2.4s.

And is the Hunq now officially fossilized by Riv? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
