Hi Helen, May your husband rest in peace and rise in glory.
Unfortunately my family has also dealt a few times in recent years with finding homes for beloved, specialized items like this. This beautiful bike certainly looks like it was beloved. If you happened to be in the DC area, I would happily volunteer to save you some trouble by stopping by and taking the relevant measurements. If Rivendell's records turn out to be too spotty, maybe someone on this list who lives closer to you would be similarly willing. In addition to height, weight would have been taken into consideration in designing a custom frame. If you're able to estimate your husband's weight around the time when he got the bike, it might be helpful to interested parties (possibly including me, I'm 6'2" also) in determining how it would ride.
