I hear ya. I'd love to have an original A/R - I like those lugs and the old Rivendell decal - but I'd never be able to talk myself out of dumping big money into restoring the frame and paint. Which means the frame can't cost too much to start with, and the seller rejected my offer. Oh well, I ha

All right, I pulled out the RR3 for the geometry chart of the first gen. AR's! The 52.5 C-T size had a 55.5 cm top tube. The 54 C-T size had a 56.5 cm top tube. The seat angles were a shockingly steep 72.5 degrees, and the head angle was 73 degrees. 42.5 cm chainstays. For rake 38 mm. BB drop

That's the original Riv lettering with the spear through it. The All Rounder was the successor to the Bstone XO-1, which the numbers seem to reflect here. The 52 center-to-top XO had a 55 center-to-center toptube. I'm pretty sure this is a first generation A/R. On Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at 3:38

Ha! I don't spoil my kids quite that much! I bet the 53 ST is center to center, so probably more like a 55 center to top measurement, which would go with the 56 TT. At least that is my presumption. On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 3:38 PM, dougP wrote: > The lettering on the down tube is odd. Anyone se

The lettering on the down tube is odd. Anyone seen that before? Missing headbadge; missing eyelet. And the 56 TT & 53 ST seem an odd combination; maybe custom? It would be a good bike for one of my daughters but it'll take some dough to get it buildable. I do know a kid in Redlands who'll b
