I think it depends what bars you want to run. I'm your height and bought a 54
to run reach-back bars, which frankly was a bit silly..I had no toptube
clearance at all. For drops or moustache - which it was designed for - I'd get
a 51.

I was in that situation with the Roadini. My pbh is 89. Rivendell
recommended the larger size at 61 cm. This was before bars were discussed.
I ultimately passed on the Roadini for other reasons and bought a Homer.

Might be worth an inquiry. Don't know if it is MUSA or MIT. The 56cm
EffTTL is too long for me with a 5cm stem and RH Randonnuer bars.
PS, you may need a shorter stem on the new MIT's since

Thanks John. Were the MUSA bikes different in sizing. With the MIT ones I
would use 51.
Thanks, Joel

I recently installed Paul touring cantilevers on my Atlantis for no
particularly good reason other than I wanted to. I was very pleasantly
surprised at how easy they were to set up and easy to release and reattach.
SO much easier than the stock Shimanos they replaced. I’m running 50mm
tires
Oh yes I'm definitely aware that the Clem (and all Riv bikes) are perfect
for this. I've just never had the chance to ride a 60 Chev and would like
to try it.
Also I think the Cheviot will fit a little better. ETT is a little less and
the HT angle will bring the bars back a bit more.

Not mine, but just came across this stunning 52cm Toyo-built Wilbury
frameset on Hartford, Conn., craigslist. It has those swoopy mid stays like
on the new Platypus prototype. Sounds like it was never built up to a
complete. Ask is $2000.

Hey I’ll take it if the other sale doesn’t pan out.

I'll eventually get around to taking photos as "better" as I can make them.
The "arch" that holds the lamp is also a fender support and wire route.
I'll take a photo of that in particular. (Eventually.)

Thanks, Ian. Chauncey built the frame to mimic the 2003 Curt but add room
for much fatter tires and fenders. The Rivs take 32s with fenders if
everything is properly set up; this one is designed for 45s and fenders,
and I hope to try the RH Nachez Pass eventually.
I don't know the RAL; sorry.
On
Thanks. The power wire runs from hub up fender arch to lamp; the tail light
wire runs under the fender from headlight to behind crown, then up the head
tube and into the top tube, where it runs inside back to the seatstay and
down to a rack tube and back to the tail light.

This may or may not be relevant to your question and to your needs, but for
decades I've been using 559 X1" or 650C ("See") X 23 mm tubes in 32 mm
tires and even, at need, in tires up to 60 mm wide, tho' the last only for
brief periods in the absence of fatter tubes. But I plan to use the 26X1
tube
This addendum requires clarification: I meant to say that I've not found
that "stretching" skinny tubes in fatter tires leads to more flats per
mile, either without sealant and with patches, or with sealant and without
patches.

I think largely it came down to two things: 6 degree slope became the norm
for the top tube, and it probably rotated around the center point - so the

Yes, Atlantis is canti or v-brake. You can also get a Sam Hillborne with the

Actually I would like to go a bit more relaxed than the Bleriiot. That put
the AHH in the same category as the Bleriot from what I have been reading.

I had a similar issue with a PBH of 89.5 between the 57 and 61. Based upon
my general saddle height of 78cm, I was at the very bottom for the 61 and
the top for the 57. I called, was recommended to go with the 61, and
couldn't be happier with the fit.
On Monday, June 29, 2020 at 6:32:40 AM UT
Joe, the AHH is still very close to the Bleriot from what I have been

compare. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html

Wondering what the 50cm Atlantis standover is. If anyone has one of

Have you considered a seatpost with more setback? The 1° slacker STA gives
you approx 1.5cm more setback (Atlantis vs AHH) which can be obtained using
a VO Grand Cru seatpost or the Nitto lugged CrMo post RBW sells.

John, no, I have not. I’m not sure it would give me a softer more stable
ride, not that the Bleriot is not stable. I want to add as much Cush for
my hands and back. The 42mm Baby Pass have done well in that area.
