>From the scans of Rivendell Reader #34, it seems the Glorious/Wilbury sizing was as follows: - 50cm: For riders up to about 5'5.5". - 56cm: Up to about 5'10.5". - 60cm: From 5'10" to 6'3" or so. *Note the use of "about", and "or so", suggesting the height ranges are guides and not definitive.* I have a 56cm Wilbury, and with my 81.0cm PBH, I have very little (~2") seatpost showing below a (tall) Brooks B17 saddle. Nevertheless, with Albatross bars connected by a normal length 110mm stem, it fits well. I've consistently read that mixte sizing can be significantly more flexible, in the sense that the range of accommodation is wide, and one can size *up* quite a bit. Still, if I read from the Cheviot's sizing guide, I should be on a 55cm by PBH, but 60cm by overall height! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
