I have a Sma Hillborne which I absolutely Love. It is the best bicycle I have ever owned. Orange frame, Cream Delta Cruisers and Honjo hammered fenders. A Magnificent and Functional work of Art.
I can't help but think about another Rivendell at some point, perhaps an A. Homer Hilson or Atlantis. The question becomes whether or not to get a smaller frame. When I ordered my Sam I did the best I could with measurements and read that most people buy frames too small for them. I ended up buying a 56 cm Sam with 700 tires. It feels great when I am riding BUT, when I stand over the top bar I am right on it, and I mean right on it. I lean the bike over when I get on, but at stoplights I do fine with one foot (toe) down. That suggests I should have gotten the 54 but the bike feels great when I am riding. I guess that shows you can adjust seat height and saddle position and come up with a bike that "fits" while mounted even IF it is too large. So, if I ordered an AHH would you recommend a smaller frame? If so, what effect would there be, if any, moving back and forth between a 56 Sam and a 54 AHH? Thanks for any thoughts. best, JimP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
