Looking for a do-everything bike for my 6'4" son, who is ridiculously
cramped on his too-small Surly LHT. If you have one for sale, email me
and we'll talk.

Yeah, but Rivendell bikes are prettier.

The 64cm. Surly is not going to allow nearly as high bars either, and no higher than their 62. They use the same fork steerer length! .... kind of Homer Simpson DUH! .. on that one.... lol. The TT is a full inch shorter too than a 62cm Hunq. Plus .... yeah .... it's a Rivendell and rides like a dream :)

Hey Anne,
I'm 6'4" and ride either a 64 or 66cm. My 64cm ram fit me perfect and I just put it up for sale--know that's not precisely what you're asking for but just fyi.
cheers,
e

Is it still for sale? How much do you want for it?

Hi Anne,
I was hoping for 1600, it has some nice low low mileage bits and has been recently repainted. We're nearby too, I'm just up in Oakland. A good strong bicycle, I will miss it.
Here's a description I sent earlier today:
"I have a beautiful 64cm rambouillet, purchased off the list as a frameset last fall and then built. It has brand new paint (metallic flake apple green) and was ridden maybe 300 miles by me. It has huge clearance (i can fit 40mm supremes), and so can be used for a variety of purposes. Turns out I want to always take out my atlantis, since I like to ride off road and am not much of one for road riding. If I put wider tires in to do that, it'd be the same as my atlantis--do i need three rivendells? not when I'm moving into a studio next month.
It's built up nicely:
48cm noodles/technomic deluxe stem/shimano levers
Campy record pre-carbon double crank, with matching bottom bracket (ridiculously low Q with this setup)
11-34 xt rear cassette, on a ultegra rear hub laced to mavic open pro
xt rear derailleur (it's cool to use mountain components to get that ultra low gear--you'll have a 39x34 and a 53x11)
shimano 105 front derailleur
shimano 105 front hub, laced to araya rim (literally 50 miles on this wheel).
parigi-roubaix tires
vo fancy cnc'ed centerpull brakes
hammered vo fenders (currently unmounted)
nitto single-bolt seatpost
I'm asking for 1600 dollars, a similar build on a roadeo would run you right up to 4k by my calculations.
cosmetically, there's a small scratch on the top tube from brake lever which was leaned up against it. never been crashed, never been abused. new paint looks beautiful. no dents. no touring. it's a damn fine bicycle, you'll love it--i just don't ride it as much as I should as I tend to ramble on my atlantis most often. enjoy!
local pickup in oakland, preferred. I will ship, but will ask you to pay (and would like to have riv do the packing, though I can do it to save money would you like)."

Im 6'5" and bought a 67cm AHH .rides great and I'm happy..however when I was in walnut creek I borrowed a 71cm and it was fine. Great rise and fit but less seatpost and stem.
I kinda wish I had am 66cm Bombadil (not made just saying) instead of the 64.
Talk to riv ... I'm a fan of going bigger.. And wish I had listened.
