I've been wondering about weight limit myself. I have an AHH and weigh around 160 lb and have thought about doing some light touring with it. I wouldn't characterize the tubing as delicate at all and I feel pretty confident I can take what I think is an average loadout with it. Almost all of my

Another photographic trick is that Patrick Moore's bike has 559mm wheels with skinny tires, which also makes the chainring look big. If you gave me a +/- 1-tooth error window, I'd say it's a 50T. Like a 50x17 or thereabouts. Could be a 51, or a 49. BL in EC On Thursday, October 24, 2024 a

The above advice is great. The only thing I'd add would be to plan a test ride before a longer ride or going somewhere where being on time matters. There are always lots of minor adjustments to make especially with handlebars and seats. On Thursday, October 24, 2024 at 2:08:34 AM UTC+2 aaronr.

FWIW, I think Riv is very conservative in their weight ratings. Even their "light" offerings are very sturdy. I am 275 lbs and have owned several of their bikes and never had a problem. That includes a 61cm Roadeo and 61cm Roadini. Both were pretty stiff even with my weight. I road both mos
