Saluki or Bleriot PBH?

[David Stein]

Does anyone have any guidelines on sizing Bleriot or Saluki's by PBH? I see a few pop up for sale and curious what Rivendell's official recommendations were on PBH sizing when they were available? For reference, I have an 80 PBH, 5'7", average build, 165 lbs (in case anyone is close to that size and rides one and can speak from experience). Lastly, if anyone is looking at parting ways with their Saluki/Bleriot/AHH, I may be buying. Thanks!

I've attached the RBW geometry chart from 2007 that includes both Saluki and Bleriot. They don't give PBH recommendations, but they do give standover at mid-TT.

David,

I am roughly your size and have a matching PBH.  I owned a saluki for a while, and have owned other RIvendell bicycles.  I fit best on the 54 saluki / 55 bleriot.  

I am happy to give further details about fit and sizing as I experienced it if you would like.

Cheers

Jason

I have an 84 pbh and ride a 59 Proto-bleriot. I should probably be down a size...

There you go.  PBH recommendations for the Saluki.

I am 5'7" and change.

82 PBH.

175 lbs.

I ride a 55 Bleriot on 40mm wide tires.

Standover is great.

Reach is long. I use a 6cm or 7cm stem for drops on it. I have a short torso and short reach though.

Here is part of the PBH chart from the Bleriot Brochure. I lifted it from the online version (apologies to Grant).

Typical rider height (inches)                                                    PBH                                   SH                     Bleriot size

63 to 66                                                                                    77.5 to 79.5                        67 to 69.5            53

65 to 68                                                                                    79.5 to 82                           69.5 to 72             55

David, if you are in the central Maryland area you are welcome to stop buy and ride mine to see if the 55 Bleriot frame size is right for you.

Awesome chart, thank you!
