Smartwool 250 weight could fit the bill. Their tops tend to be loose, so if in
doubt size down as a base layer.
I could never go a week between washings with merino base layers. It’s stinks
just as much as anything else would. I hop into the shower with my base layer

It'll depend on the size of your headset and the type of brakes you're
using.
I used a B&M mount that way once, when I had side pull caliper brakes. It
worked but it was much less than optimal. I had to bend the arms to clear
the bottom of the headset and the top of the TRP957 brakes. I'd guess
Looks like it was a great time. Thanks for sharing! It really does look

Nice build. How does the toe clip overlap compare on the two bikes? And more
importantly — how do you decide which one to ride?

I’m not the OP, but this is where I think potential new Riv riders like myself
get confused. “Well, you’re a 53 in x frames. A 55 in Y. You’d be a 57 in Z but
you could also do a 59.” *Runs to geo chart*.

Hello folks,
I'm reaching out for some input regarding current Sam Hillbornes.
I'm 6' tall with an 85PBH (say, 86.25 PBH with shoes.) Saddle height ~75cm,
a Brooks B17 which runs about 6cm tall.
Riv recommends a size 55 frame, but I know I could ride a 58. I'll ride on
pavement and trails. Les
To clarify, I don’t mean to say that the stack is wrong, just a bit higher than
I’d expect, even with an upslope. This is going on past experience with compact
frames, and having ridden others’ off the peg frames like the Awol and Vaya.

The geo chart can be found here:

I’d expect, even having ridden similar compact frames like the Vaya and Awol.
I’m not saying the number are wrong, but head scrat
Thank you everyone for your very patient advice. I've concluded that a
current 55 or even better, a 56 with the 57.5 TT, is the way to go for me.
Basically, what Riv recommends!
