Lovely bullmooses in here. I have the choco-moose on my Hunq - which I

bullmoose bars certainly look cool and have the extra stiffness that's
often welcomed for trail riding... but as others have mentioned, the
biggest downside is the lack of adjustability. The specifics of the bars
have to pretty much match what is needed for your position on the bike,

I agree with Johnny. Think about how you mostly want this bike set up and
size accordingly. You had mentioned wanting an Albatross bar setup, so if
it were me, I would go with the 54cm and longer top tube that will play
nicely with the swept-back bars and longer stem required for said bars. I

It's pretty wild the differing opinions people have on upsizing or
downsizing based on cockpit choices. I'm with Bill on this, and I think Riv
tends to suggest smaller sizes than necessary, maybe because there's still
consumer pushback to running shorter stems? Everyone thinks they need a
10cm
Great looking Bombadil and Atlantis!

Thanks, Dave. I think I might fall between sizes, between the 52 and the 59
and, inclined to go small, the 52 alas is spec'd for 650B instead of my
preferred 700C. But perhaps a 59 would be alright as long as I don't want a

Preferably with swept bars (Choco, Losco, Billie, etc) or possibly frame
only. I'm in Cincinnati, OH and could travel a reasonable distance to pick
up, or shipping is possible. Also will be traveling to Kansas City, KS in
June and could pick up along that route, as well.

Yes; please keep them coming.

I agree with that. A 51 Sam is "bigger" than a 54cm Rambouillet, IMO. My
comment had to do with the OP's height at 5'11". A 5'11" person would
probably do best on a 60cm Ram. At 5'10" I'd pick a 60cm if you gave

"Palm sized" is how I'd describe the Carson MiniScout 7x18 I take along on
trail rides and other rides when I don't expect to be using them much or
are too rough to bring more expensive binoculars. Tiny, expendable, very
small eye relief, but surprisingly decent handling for the size.

I would never question Rivendell's knowledge on anything at all but like I
said their method of sizing bikes for people does not work for me
personally. If you are comfortable on the 55 Salsa the 54 SH will feel a
lot bigger. The 51 will likely feel pretty close. But I don't want to
discourage
That does make sense. I wonder if a 130 stem with the Albatross bars on the
51 would give enough knee clearance, because I definitely want to run those
bars.

That I can't say BUT if you go with the 54 might I suggest the Billie bars?
They are similar to the Albatross but go back a bit further. Quite
luxurious.
