While the list is not the best sample, i do notice that most requests for swaps are initated by someone looking to swap up to a larger size. Both of my Rivs (a 56 Sam, 60cm QB) both fit fine. i was right in the middle for the Sam and after owning it i think a 60cm may have worked (though the stem length would've been an issue).
I don't 100% agree with the statement that you are 'settling' by choosing a Sam over a Homer because of the jump in sizes, Grant would not be selling that bike if he didn't think it would work. I feel that the Sam's just rely on the seatpost & stem a little bit more for adjustability and there's nothing wrong with that. Long way to say, trust Rivendell to put you on a bike that will fit, and don't be freaked out when you get it all put together by the size of the headtube or standover clearance, ride it first! I know it might look huge. but part of why we love the Rivs is that they have a certain fit. If you're really uncertain put a call out for someone local to give you a test-drive, or come to one of the Riv Rallys--where most people bring Rivs but all are welcome! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
