Charlie - you've always been a Rivendell owner, you just hadn't gotten the
bicycle yet... ;^)
I've had a S-one on order since January.
I'm 183 cm tall, 91 cm PBH, 62 frame coming.
I will almost certainly put drop bars on this bike. At least for its
first fitting. I have a used Nitto that's narrow on top, flared at
the bottom that will be the first fit attempt.
I'm currently trying out

They came in odd sizes. Measuring 54 c-c would probably be a 55, which
should have a 56.5 top tube. I can tell you just by looking at the
picture that it's probably a 55, not a 57.

You may need to break it down into smaller sets to print. I had to do
that (at work). My first attempt resulted in an Adobe error that the
cache was full. (I had already emptied the cache so it appears the

I am (6ft, 89PBH) another advocate for drop bars with their many hand
positions and the ease to body shift for differing effort or
aerodynamics. My current favorite is the Noodle I have three bikes
with 46cm Noodles, and one with 44cm and wish the ratio was reversed.

When I click the link, I get a printer icon on the bottom of the page.
Click the printer icon and a box opens asking if i would like to print

and then my printer box opens. Click print.

Any advice on how to print it? I can't get it to print beyond page one
(and I've set the printer specs properly).
Also, I don't see it on the Riv website: not in PDF format, yet?

I'm 6 feet (or a little less), 86 PBH (or a little more), thus not hugely
different sizing than Bruce. I have 46cm Noodles on my Quickbeam, and I love
them -- 3 totally distinct hand positions (and several variants thereof) means
excellent hand/wrist comfort, and although I'm no great climber,
I've yet to ride mine in the humid Virginia summer. My break in
miles--several thousand--have all been in the fall, winter, and early
spring. As hot and humid as our summers can get it that might just do
it. The saddle also just might not be the one for me.
Best wishes,
Christian

I'm built similarly and love drop bars and can't get comfortable on
anything else (I've tried them all, too). I find drops particularly
useful with ss and fixed gears because these require, or can require,
a wider range of power outputs, and different hand/arm/body positions
