No worries. My point is that, although the SH most closely matches the kind
of frame I want, I am considering other Riv models as well, and frame geo
is one of the factors I am weighing. I wouldn't rule out any frame for not
exactly matching my ideal. In fact, most of my bikes are less than perf
My post wasn't meant to single you out, other than as random example of a
trend we are mostly all caught up in some way or another. I'm not so
precious about frame size as long as it's within range, but I have become a
tire snob. Way too many dang tire choices out there right now. Though that

On the previous numbers I was in the middle for a 51cm. I didn’t think the
51 has changed in any way but now I am no longer in the middle with an 80.6

I admit to being picky, but then, I would guess this is true of most
posters in the group. The shorter stays and trad end caps were part of why
I was interested in the SH to begin with, so if my ideal geo happens to
fall between sizes, that's just one more check on the "con" side. Again,
yes, I
The SH comes in five sizes, increments of 3cm from 48 to 60cm, so unless a
person is unusually tall or short, or has proportions that generally
"require" a custom geometry, I would think there is a sweet spot in there
for the 99 percent. I realize there are other parameters than just seat
tube
Maybe the "slightly longer" stays are truly that. And maybe I could get
over the ball and socket ends. I hope photos of the actual frame change my
mind. In any case, more depends on whether or not one of the frame sizes
happens to fit the sweet spot for me.

Thanks, I just pulled up the latest email, it got by me.
“ The seattube sizes are slightly different this time. Here's the PBH range:
48cm 650b = 77-80cm
51cm 650b = 80-83cm
54cm 700c = 84-86cm
57cm 700c = 86-90cm
60cm 700c = 89-94cm
The changes from the last batch are minimal:

Yes, quite a few group members have called the SH the "perfect Riv," or
words to that effect, and I was set to buy one when they became available.
No longer. I wish they had left well enough, or maybe even "perfect,"
alone. I agree variety would be nice -- I don't think chainstay length is

S, this is the second time I have heard this in 2 days, here and on the FB
RBW site. I would hope the chainstays in the Sam would remain the same so
we would have some variety. I found an Orange Sam, new at a decent price
but I am not sure on the orange, but now it is a big maybe.

I agree that the design looks very close to the Avid Shorty. I still plan
to buy a pair, if they aren't too expensive.
I like that Riv is offering more original parts and tools. I think this
could be a growth area for them, especially the tools, which usually sell
out instantly. And since their
I was hoping for a simpler, old-school sort of cantilever, more like the
Rene Herse version which while wildly priced, ticks all the boxes of what
I'd like in a cantilever brake (Post style pads with toe-in washers, pads
open up wide past the frame).
I can't say much about the Riv design tho
I believe Grant is also working on a V-brake and I will certainly buy a set the
moment they become available.

>From an engineering perspective, I was meh on the new canti brake design,
to be honest. The arms are hollowed in the direction that reduces
stiffness during braking forces, and the fact the allen end is blocked by
the canti arm would probably annoy me in use. Not that it's a bad looking
brake
