Sorry the Rambouillet didn't fit you well, despite Grant's input on sizing.
It was increasingly under square (top tube shorter than seat tube) up
through the sizes. Your 58 has a 57cm TT, my 62's is 59cm. I think Grant
was trying to incorporate into frame spec what is often "fit" with seat

Very nice bike, wish I could get it.
A question about the build: How did you get the Soma Highway One bars thru
a Nitto quill stem? I was under the impression these bars required an open
face stem due to the abrupt curves.
Thanks,

Hey Jake,
Where are your handlebars ? ...or did I not see them in your picture ?

Hi Kim,
Good eye! I'll try my Albatross bar that never worked with my RB-1 and
replace the original drops. I feel like I will end up with something like
a Nitto X Crumbworks bar (I'm a distance motorcyclist - love the palms-down
hand position) but need to put some (s)miles on the Sam before f
It wasn't possible to do get the bars on the stem with the stem on the
bike. Like an impossible puzzle. However, with both the stem and bars off
of the bike I was able to gently rotate the stem as I was feeding it onto
the handlebars. There was always one rotational point where the stem would

I’ll play this game. None of those boxes are shaped like a square taper
bottom bracket box.
Good luck! Reach out for help as needed. It’s much less intimidating than
it looks. Park tools has some excellent videos. Make sure you have some
good grease and cable cutters. Also feel free to watch the m

If there was an award for box recognition, you would have won it! How
about a free bandana? The BB is on it's way from Riv, along with a S83

Yes! I would absolutely take a free bandana for funzies. Since you haven’t
started the build yet, you might consider some Frame Saver. Especially if
you’re anywhere near the sea (my Florida geography is quite limited but I
think I see the ocean).
It used to be owned by JP Weigle and is now sold un
Ping me your addy, and one spanking new Riv tealish-blue lugged bandana
will be in the mail. Frame Saver is a good idea. I have T-9, but I
believe Frame Saver is preferred.

If you are unable to find Frame Saver, boiled linseed oil will work as well.

Howdy folks.
So I already have one of these (shamefully not assembled yet), and I
specifically wanted the 650B wheel size. I would say that in general I
ride about a 55cm classic road frame and I didn't/don't want to run the
bars higher than about saddle height (I run about 72cm, depending on ped
Oh, I am also wondering if the geometry chart for the JA still exists
somewhere? I see one for the Atlantis, and I know they are similar... Doug

Sounds like a good plan. I hope those bars work out for you well.

My PBH is 79, I had a 51 Appa and it fit perfect. You're good to go!

Thanks to all; I am all set for now thanks to a generous offer; and thanks
to the other offers too and the numerous source links.

Howdy folks.
These seem like a great choice for a good price IF they fit without a bunch
of tweaking. Anybody know if they do?
Thanks, Doug

Thanks; come to think of it, I had a pair of these as well but found them
too cramped. The CC or Tektros were more comfortable but are made from a
lot of plastic.
I think I'll stick to my old Dura Ace levers and Paul cantis.
