Yeah I just might have a small PBH or something. I tried a 55 and 53 and felt way more comfortable on the 53. The 59 is the second to largest Bleriot that is crazy that I am that far off the norm. On Jun 12, 1:12 pm, Gino Zahnd wrote: > I'm 5' 9" and bought the 57cm B-lo, and have regretted it

I'm 5' 9" and bought the 57cm B-lo, and have regretted it every time I get on it. I like the bike well enough, but it's too small. On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 4:46 AM, Johnny Alien wrote: > Man...I am 5'9 and 59 would be WAY too big for me. > > Maybe I have stubby legs. :) > > On Jun 12, 6:36 am, Jo

I was wondering about this too, i'm sure it's a bunch of very mixed emotions to realize that BB1 isn't the right bike for you any more, it has certainly served you well. I'll be really interested to see what Bob cooks up for you next, the bike he built for Amy is a real beauty. Link up some picture

Sadly on one hand [so many fantastic memories, plus... how can I even begin to process personally what that bike has done for & with me?], and excitedly on the other [because it kind of means "Success, look what you've accomplished... "] the answer is, Yes I am. The Bob Brown custom [what I call "

Scott, Used to follow your blog (but didn't post much). Are you retiring your Bob Brown, or is the Bleriot meant to compliment (i.e. different purpose build). On Jun 11, 12:52 pm, "S.Cutshall" wrote: > Thanks folks... > > Yes, it's a 59.  I am 5ft 9in when standing without my wife nearby, > 5ft

Beautiful. That's my favorite Riv, aesthetically. I saw one at America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride in Lake Tahoe last weekend. I love the color, the airplane guy, and the airplane spear through the Rivendell logo. Enjoy! On Jun 10, 10:48 pm, "S.Cutshall" wrote: > ...has -finally- begun. > > http:/
