Hi Bill,
Thanks for clarifying. No worries. I was just concerned that, in a few
years' time, somebody would google "How much do Rene Herse crankarms weigh"
and your post would come up.
Of course, now that AI distills the responses, something entirely different
might appear. (AI recently gave

P.S.: Bill is absolutely right—comparing arm weights doesn't make much
sense. After all, we ride complete cranks! As mentioned, RH arms are very
light, but a little bit of that weight comes back with heavier rings.
However, three bolts instead of five saves some weight—what matters is the

I was going to make a likely controversial statement and say that along with

Or. by stem binder you mean the center of the steer tube. 51cm and 53cm
would be more like the distance to the binder that grabs the handlebar, and
therefore includes the stem length. 41-43 is maybe in the ball park to the
center of the steer tube

"~41 cm nose of saddle to center of stem binder versus 43 cm with the Riv."
That's an obvious typo. It's 51 and 53cm.

Haha Brian, I totally agree. Anybody (absolutely anybody) in the market
for a full-rigid steel drop bar mountain bike should be buying a Black
Mountain La Cabra, in my opinion. Especially since they are available and
on sale at the moment.

Jan brings up an excellent point and it sent me back to my "notes" to

What I was doing was deciding, on the basis of weight which excellent crank

Every time I see certain Riv models with drop bars, I can’t help but think it’s just a matter of time before they realize that frame just wasn’t meant to be a drop bar bike and they either sell it, or find a sweptback / upright cockpit they can live with.BrianLex KYOn Feb 7, 2025, at 3:27 PM, Patri

I don't have info on the Silver cranks, but Bill's Rene Herse crank weight
seems high.
The last RH 171 mm arms I weighed came out at 378 g. Since these are
net-shape forged, the weight is very consistent. Polishing removes a few
grams, but anything more than 3 g off the target weight would sur
Hey everyone, first post here!

I'm 172cm, 86.5cm PBH. My current bike is a 56cm, current saddle height

the new bike).

No 53's on the Riv site but Blue Lug has all sizes in Gold. I actually got
my Roadini from Blue Lug and had a good experience. Riv was sold out of
those when I purchased.

Yes, "make yourself comfortable" is a fine philosophy to follow for bike
fitment. I only want to add that it also requires some level of
self-awareness, at least an ability to listen to your aching muscles and
sore bones, and integrate what they're telling you into mechanical
adjustments. In my
