Not even a close question. Get a reference for a good personal injury
lawyer and talk to him/her. Just think about how much money you would
charge to suffer this kind of injury voluntarily. P&S, temporary
disability, out-of-pocket loss, hedonic damage - it will be
significant.

Buy one size down on the Cross-Check. The standover clearance in any
given size is less generous than it would be on a Riv of the same size
(higher BB, different measuring scheme, etc)
However, I would encourage you to add couplers to a Riv. The
Traveler's Check is a nice deal, but it's easier to
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your feedback!
My 12 cm stem is a Riv Lugged stem. Super pretty, but maybe a little
too long.
I have albatross bars.
The main issue I'm trying to address is the feeling that, when riding
in a full upright position, the pedals are too far aft.
In the upright position (which the
I think handlebar fit/style is the thing I spend the most time & money on
with bikes!
I'd recommend the Technomic (non-deluxe) in a 10cm and give that a try,
along w/ a post that has more of an offset clamp.
FWIW, here is what the Technomic's look like w/ A-bars

While I suppose there is some value to stand over height, TT length by
far is more important. For the most part when using a bike, the rider
is not standing but rather reaching f
It's not quite that simple. Since head tube and seat tube angles vary,
it's possible to have, say, a longer TT on a certain bike, yet have a
shorter/easier reach to the handlebars, or vice versa. On a custom
bike I received awhile back, I asked that the TT be a tiny bit shorter
than that on my Atl
For those who may have missed it, there was an article in the last
Rivendell Reader on the subject of top tube length with some useful
explanatory illustrations.

I meant that to go privately, but now that I'm posting, how would July
31 (a Friday) work for everyone? I'm currently thinking of the
campground at the Sanborn youth hostel
I guess I never got around to reading the article. GP does discount
TT length, although not in favor of stand over. He focuses on seat
tube angle, saddle and handlebar height.
I remain unconvinced that stand over is a more significant measure
than TT. I put 60 Big Apples on a bike that is alr
