Photo request: 57 Roadini & 60 Rambouillet

[Tom]

Hey all,

Favor to ask of owners of the subject bikes.  I'd like to see a profile shot with the saddle set at 79, and bars level with saddle.  Icing on the cake if you'd share your PBH and the stem length you're running.  Thank you!

While we're at it, has anyone heard more than the what was mentioned in a previous Blahg post about a lugged Roadini coming this Oct ?

Thanks,

Tom

Here is my Rambouillet 60cm. My PBH is 89, saddle set at 78. Salsa 100mm stem with 15deg rise. I am almost 6', and like a bit shorter reach as my PBH is on the long side for my height. I also have a 61 Romulus with a 110 Nitto Delux stem that I like the fit on even better. I run the Rom stem lower than seen here, as this was how I got the bike originally.

Mark, to my eye your Ram looks perfect,  - thx for the pic and info!

Here's my 60.  Bars level with saddle, but 76cm saddle height.  My PBH is87cm.  Stem is currently 7cm but was 10 or 11 cm most of its life. Seems counterintuitive, but I'm trying a shorter stem to make me sit more upright, which might prove more comfortable and less cramped.  Ram has a very short top tube, so I used to feel too far over-the-bars.  (I'm 6'-2", so short legs/long torso. My fit issues aren'ttypical.) I'd rather not adjust the saddle and bars to your reqursted numbers but, if you don't get the photos you need, certainly could.

Thanks Keith - another nice Ram, well proportioned. Good luck with your stem experiment. I’m 6’ with 90.5 PBH, so slightly more equal upper/lower body.   Depending on the setup my saddle height is 78-79.

Thanks, Guy.  Love that color scheme!

Hi Tom, 

This is a photo of my first generation 60cm Ramboo with a saddle height of 77cm running an 11cm Nitto stem with 44cm Dream bars. I was 5'10"+ (180cm) at that time. Slightly shorter now with roughly the same seat height.

I'm running my Brooks B-17 narrow slid fairly forward on the rails if you cannot see clearly. 37mm Paselas with zip-tied Bluemel Lightweights.

Roadini, 48 noodles, 9cm technomic, 6'1" rider, I've never measured my saddle height though.

Thank you!   The white fenders with the cream accents look great.  From a fit perspective - saddle pushed fwd, and yet an 11cm stem - I'm guessing long upper torso and/or shorter femurs?  Or do you just prefer how the longer stem is less twitchy?

Brendon this looks like a magazine cover shot - wow.  That looks like an 80+ saddle height to me.  Since you're offroad in this shot, wondering if it was the standover that kept you from getting a 61?  Regardless,  looks great and this helps.  

I had a 61 several years ago, and, though it was fine with an Albatross or other flat bar, I needed a tiny 6cm stem with a Noodle, and to me it never felt exactly right...felt big, and my standover was cutting it very close.  Whenever I saw a pic of it, it reminded me of my first Schwinn Continental, bought for me at age 12 ... way too big so I could 'grow into it' with saddle slammed and bars up.
