You could always take your bike(s) down to the local Amrak station and ask
if you can go onoard a train while it's stopped to see if the given bike
will fit. Even if you have to buy a ticket to enter, check the fit, and
leave before it departs, it's not like it's expensive ! I have no idea how
John, It seems that those of us who are test fitting our bikes make similar
faces. It is, after all, serious business!
And here is a link to a stem length calculator that I found handy during
the fit process: http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php . That one
happens to not be secure, but the
By the way I think your bike fit looks fine.

You definitely aren't alone in feeling the "Surly needs spacers"
comfort/discomfort issue. It looks like the brand is course correcting with
current models, perhaps.
Congrats on the Riv.

It looks great, but a roll top has no place on a handlebar bag.

Looks like you had beautiful weather. My wife and I rode from Elkins to
Montrose last year at this time with similar weather but the trail was
closed for a bit beyond that for road construction and then again beyond
Parsons for trail maintenance. Is it completely open from Elkins to Thomas
now?
Bump and price drop.
Frame and fork for *$1300*. I can also sell the complete bike. We can
negotiate the price depending on wheel set. The bike is available in
Danville, CA for test rides/local pick up. Shipping can be arranged through
a local bike shop.
Thanks for looking .

John - Don't stress too much. Moving from traditional triangle frames to
step-though super long riv's I've realized the amount of flexibility of fit
with Riv's. So much is based on personal opinion and personal ergonomics. I
found on my Riv I like a short low stem with wide swept back bars. It g
Cheeky!

I take my 51 Joe Appaloosa on the west coast Amtrak a couple times a week.
I’m not sure about the wheelbase differences with a 55 Platy, but no one on
Amtrak is there with a tape measure checking lengths before you hop on.
The bike is objectively “too long” to fit perfectly on the bike racks. Th

On the other hand, a roll top is a very good method for keeping the
elements out of a bag, and if you are otherwise running something like a
basket with a cargo net then you are undoubtedly used to not accessing your
stuff while riding. In such cases there are indeed times when a roll top
has a
Ok, ok, I gotcha…and pinching the fenders would make me ill. This is such a good idea. So one Irish strap or a Voile strap should do the trick? But how, pray tell, does one even get their bike to stand vertical?! I lift it overhead every day to hang it on the top of my D’vinci rack, but I’ve never
This is how I do it, Leah. Grab the brake levers, stand kind of behind it, pull the front wheel up and then release the rear brake lever just enough that the back end can roll forward until the bike is getting vertical. Stop that action when you’re about to catch the fender on the ground. Squat dow

Sorry for my late reply! I'm catching up on the posts after a busy week.
Brady, you are doing great and are smart to realize when it's not your day

Can someone who’s ridden both bikes tell me: what’s the difference, between the
Susie and the Appaloosa? I’d like to start riding more dirt and trails—but no
crazy fast stuff or jumps—and I’m wondering if I should get a Susie or just
stick with my Appaloosa.
Does the Susie have better clearance
I'm getting the bronzy green version Sam and am pretty excited. Moving most
of the parts from my Bridgestone T700 over which are mostly classic silver

schemes for some inspiration for *accoutrements and could use help and

I have both and consider them very different bikes. With the right tires,
you can definitely ride your Appa on dirt and trails. It is my choice for
loaded tours and scenic rides. The Susie has a very different feel to me.
The tires can go much bigger and somehow its geometry makes me feel much
