One thing, I think, that separates Riv road bikes from other brands is the maintaining of good fit AND handling geometry at the smaller frame sizes this thread is dealing with. The 700c wheel size has to be dealt with because they physically "get in the way" of good geometry more as the frames

That's an idea Doug, however by reshaping the 63mm 700c fender to fit the smaller diameter 650b you would be widening the fender. You would probably want to start with a fender that's more narrower. Paul On Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 3:34:50 PM UTC-6 Edwin W wrote: > Berthoud 60
