Need to figure out his PBH. Then from there, look at the frame-size. When you say flat bar, do you mean like a "mountain-bike" bar?If he doesn't want to go drops, I'd suggest an Albatross; might be a put off for some folks, but it's a versatile bar (I went moustache instead, but, an

Deb my dear, I think a 58cm Rambouillet is a little bit small for a true 6-footer, especially with a flat bar setup. I think I could fit well on a 58 Ram with a drop bar setup, but I'm only 5'10". A 59 San Marcos could be a good flat bar candidate for a 6-footer, but then he'd have the very p

To further cloud your decision. I'm a long legged six-footer and ride a 64cm Ram. I wouldn't want it any smaller. On Monday, February 17, 2014 11:04:16 PM UTC-7, debra banks wrote: > > Thanks Leslie for this. > > My guy is a long-legged 6 footer. He has been riding an old Marin mtn bike > with

Thanks Leslie for this. My guy is a long-legged 6 footer. He has been riding an old Marin mtn bike with flat handlebar. Nothing special about it, his standover height looks about normal (I know, what is normal these days?, but when I ride with him, the bike seems well proportioned - frame to c

Hi Debra. The Ram is still available. The wheels are 32-spoke. The bike is ready to ride with the new brake cables installed and the bars wrapped with the cork tape - both are included with the bike. Mainly due to the stem potentially being too short for a new owner and wanting to facilitate a

Hi Dan! Lovely Ram. I'm on the hunt for a bike for a friend and this may be the ticket! So Q.1 is has it been scooped up by someone? Q.2 is does it need any work, or is it ready to ride? Q.3 is how tall are you? Trying to get an idea of frame size to height. My guy is 6.0'. Q.4 number of spoke
