FWIW, I have a 53 MIT Atlantis. I'm 5' 71/2" 82 ish PBH 71 cm saddle height 110mm stem with Billie Bars. Riv recommended a 50 but I told Will that most riding will be on the road and went 53. Glad I did. I can still use drops with a short stem. Stand over is fine and the bike feels perfect. Runn

The sizing recs on the new MIT versions of old frames are definitely a little confusing. I didn't really deal with that because this particular bike was offered as a hardly ridden demo from Analog Cycles; all I had to do was check the toptube length (I know I can step over a 53 frame) and confir

"I'm a little mystified by Riv's PBH chart for this frame " I just took a look at both the new & old sizing charts. On the old one, they used PBH, but it's not on the new one. The closest dimension is stand-over height. I'm 5'10" with an 84 cm PBH. On the old sizing chart, I could ride eith

It’s an amazing build. I know a young woman with a 78 PBH who left teaching after a really bad experience and now works at the local non profit bike shop who it would be perfect for but it’s way outside her price range. John Greenville On Thu, Jun 13, 2019 at 12:33 PM Joseph Bernard wrote: >

I'm putting this out there for any potential buyers, not to try to talk you specifically into snagging it: I'm a little mystified by Riv's PBH chart for this frame and don't agree with it. Unless they envision this as a touring bike with drops, it just doesn't make sense. I'm 5'-7", 79-80 PBH,

This is true, my PBH is 79-80ish. The only way I could drop down to a 50 MIT-A is if I was using drop or Moustache bars. In fact I'd need a 56 to get the reach right for Boscos. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscri
