Sure looks like a 56 or, maybe 58, to me. Remember that the Rams were proportioned to encourage people to size "up" from what they typically believed they needed. Even more so than other Rivs of the era, they had proprtionally shorter top tubes and lower bottom brackets. On Thursday, July 8,

If this is a 56 I think I have to put my hat in. Currently Rivendell-less and this would replace my '76 Witcomb USA which is nice but a bit quick handling for my taste these days. Ryan On Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 12:09:56 PM UTC-7 David Hallerman wrote: > Reading posts kvelling over the Ram

The green was my favorite color, but only the blue was made in the smaller sizes I need. I still have my first year Riv Road. (The Road has a level TT, the Road Standard has an upslope TT.). It is a wonderful bike and gets most of the miles. I converted it to 650B so I can get 38 mm tires in.
