What makes the Charlie so unique in the lineup is that it's the first roadish Riv with proper flat/swept bar geometry. Puts it in quite a different category from Roadini / Homer. Also IMO Riv BB's are plenty low already even with max tire size. I would not want lower. Maybe with super short cranks an argument can be made for more BB drop, but that's an edge case.
That makes no sense. With 25mm tires, 172.5mm cranks and a 8cm BB drop, I might have pedal strike once or twice a year when riding aggressively off road. With 28mm tires that I'm running today, I have no pedal strikes. I'm confident that with 35mm tires, 170mm cranks, and an 85mm BB drop my brother will not pedal strike no matter what he does. With 40mm tires, he could probably run 180mm cranks and still have no pedal strikes.
