    Hi, do you mean you use 650B wheels on your road bike? I'm about a 1/2" taller, so I'm curious what your finding are. This question might be better suited for another thread, but what the heck.

    Another is size. If I take my PBH measurement, I should go with a 47 size frame. Maybe a 50. But when I e-mailed my query to Rich at Riv, he advised me to go for a 52. He said he'd skip the...

    To Smurfalicious
