Oh, looking at that photo is painful. Ouch! I'm very glad neither you nor
anyone else was hurt.
I'll add a Susie for you to my watchlist--what size do you need?

Depends on what it encounters as it's tumbling. The crack at the
downtube/headtube junction and buckle in the toptube tells me the bars hit
the ground or another object pur-ty dang hard.

That is a fine bicycle. Toyo made and came stock with pretty much the same
parts as Rambouillet, it was a screaming deal back then and impossible for
Grant to replicate for that kind of money now. Mine was a smidge too big
cuz 55cm was the smallest size, but I sure miss it.

Just here to add my condolences and mourn the fact that there is one less
Susie in the world in my size.
I like to run a strap around the bike up to a roof rack when possible so if
all else fails and the rack falls off the tow hitch, the whole lot will
swing and scrape along the back of the car
Nothing to add of use here except that that photo is like a still-life,

I always assumed that a bike falling off of a rack on the highway would survive
& just be scraped up. Looks like my assumption was wrong. Maybe due to the
curved “top tube” on that frame?
I just sold my Thule rack with the rubber straps that secure the frame. Mine
had three straps for each bike
Hey Ben Sorry about bike stuff.
Maybe check with a frame builder and ask if you can do a custom with the
frame. Maybe cheaper than a new bike?

Youch! I'm with Curtis- very painful to see this photo.
So sorry this happened. I have what sounds like the same rear Thule rack,

Good luck with the replacement.

Indeed, a fendered 650B conversion should work fine on that bike. Two
caveats: 1. Rivs already have a low BB so the smaller wheel size could be a
pedal-strike issue if you tend to pedal through turns. 2. Long-reach
calipers like the Tektro R559 Riv sells won't work because that frame was
alread
Dang! I'm glad you replied with that info so quick! I was just about to
attempt the install.
My long term plan is to convert this to 650B's. I think they would clear
with that, so maybe I shouldn't return these just yet. Thoughts?

Hi Leah, yes there was certainly a risk of Susie hurting someone
physically. Thankfully this did not happen and in fact I don't think anyone
even ran it over. Cars were definitely swerving though.
The bike was on a hitch rack that carries the top tube. The top tube was
held down by rubber strap
Oh, wow. Gulp. I have some questions, if the OP doesn’t mind me asking…
1. Was there risk of the Susie to coming through the windshield of a car
behind you? I am SO glad no one was hurt. A Susie coming at you at highway
speeds could mortally wound you.
2. What went wrong that the bike came free

Indeed, Riv sizing can get quite confusing because they're still labeling
