I'm a tall dude, 6'3 and want a mixte. Does anybody here match my description and own one? Just curious about your experience. Thanks. Tall ladies can also lend some feedback.

    Am I missing something ?  What difference does it make whether you're tall, short, medium or otherwise ?   Experience is experience !

I've looked at Riv's , both the Clementine and Cheviot and I'm "tall" .  I noticed though that both only come with 1 bottle mount , which to me is a small, yet not so small omission as why not add one under the down tube or on top of the "top" tube , it costs next to nothing to do this , I know what such things cost to a builder. But for a customer , I shouldn't be needing a bolt-on bottle mount on a new frame these days, especially quality ones  .  Otherwise the frames look great .

I don't think your height is that exceptional within the Rivendell ownership community.  For example I am 6'7" and I know of others who are similar or even taller.

The staff at Riv is very, very good at what they do.  Give them a call.  If they recommend a specific frame, you can be assured it will fit.

Maybe a large Clementine would be in order.  Ask them about it.  I don't remember offhand what the height recommendations were for the large, but they will know.

One thing I do know is that their sizing is often unconventional, but they know their stuff, so if they recommend a size that sounds odd, trust them, it will work.
