My PBH is 92.7, and I'm curious to what standover height and framesize
would be recommended for an AHH frame? I'm 6ft 1.5in tall.
Looks like the 63 (with 88.8 Standover) would give me about 3.9 cm
(1.6 in) of clearance; while the 65 (with 90.7 Standover) would give

Yes, I guess you're right.

Thanks for all the info. I think I would be pretty stretched out on
the 19" -- I'll wait for a smaller size.

Just realized that this has no RIv content other than some Nitto bits
and Grip Kings on my bike. Sorry for the OT post.

I use and like the Aardvark saddle cover from VeloOrange

It fits my B 17s well and even stretches to fit a B 68.

Just glad you're OK.

Jim,
It's good news that you are ok. I was hit in early December and no ticket
was issued to either the driver or myself. I was hit in a crosswalk by a
driver making a right on red. I faired much better than you. My rear wheel
is shot as that is all he hit. He spun me 180 degrees, but I was able to
"Tangential digressions"--an oxymoron! I really need to step away from

Good stuff! This was interesting:

Personally I think Atla

When I was a kid, about when I'd outgrown my old Evel Knievel bike, I

It was a 'road' bike, but I rode it everywhere. Took me to
school, took me to the store, over to friends' houses, up into the

Around here many of the public trails that folks use for hiking and
