Ann, I have a 81cm PBH and I ride a 56cm Wilbury with about 2" of seatpost showing. Since your saddle height is going to be about 6cm lower than mine, but with 4cm of that taken up by the shorter seat tube of a 52cm frame, I'll say you should fit, even if it's at the lower end of fitting. What I'm more concerned about, after helping a couple of my female friends tweak their fit, is whether you'll find the reach OK; women tend to require shorter reaches. However, if you're expecting to use an Albatross bar or similar, then the reach issue may be moot. WRT to clearance, I don't have numbers for the 52cm size, but my Wilbury fits Hetre 650Bx42 tires under fenders, albeit somewhat snugly. Kurt, this is how my 56cm Wilbury is set up <https://www.flickr.com/photos/benzzoy/47485954312/in/datetaken-public/>, for my 70.5cm saddle height. I'm actually 5'10" (yeah, short legs), so with the Albatross bars, it's an upright position for me. A saddle height of 75cm would be substantially higher than mine, and would be doubly so for a 52cm frame. I don't know…I suspect you won't fit very well on that 52cm frame. Remember, with mixtes, the guideline is one can usually ride a *larger* bike; what you're trying to do is to ride a *smaller* bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
