The Hilborne comes in a 48. If a new Riv is too expensive, there are
older road bikes available in small sizes if you keep your eyes
peeled. My wife has an 80's Trek and a Fuso in 48 but neither are for
sale. If I was small enough, I'd go for a Vitus like this:

I'll probably get one of those. Good basic bike and relatively
inexpensive. Motobecane had mixte versions of some of their higher end
bikes, generally made with Vitus steel, but those are a little harder

I've talked to them about a few bikes. I thought they were a bit high, but
not egregiously so. $1200 would be a screaming deal, IMHO. Given that it's

If your lbs didn't know what kind of bb, I'd guess they are accustomed to
external bb's/BB30, and perhaps there is a more retro friendly bike shop

Nice review! I've been very happy with my Compass Loup Loups, which I'm
