Hi folks: I picked up a secondhand 57 blue Rambler (Bantam), but I think I'm shrinking and it's touch tall for me. Anyone with a 55 want to swap? Thanks.

Congrats on the Rambler! I'm riding a 59cm, but i typically ride a 57cm in my other bikes. Have you given it a shot?

It's like riding a fence! I will say though that it's otherwise a fantastic bike, great work Rob and crew.

Did you ever get this figured out? I just ordered a 55cm second hand. I'm super excited and expect it will fit (I'm 5'10", 83 pbh, normally ride a 55-56cm frame), but I'm bracing myself for the worst. If there are fit issues I'll be in touch. How tall are you out of curiosity?

Hi Brad,

FWIW, I am 1 inch taller than you in height & pbh and normally ride 59-61cm frames and found 57cm Rambler to be a bit small. Would have gone w/ 59 but really wanted 650B wheels.

Brad - I'm not sure where you are located, but if you are near Oakland/San Francisco anytime, you are welcome to ride my 57cm Rambler. Currently setup with Nitto North road bars, but I may be swapping back to drop bars soon. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcVoKCTl_nQ/?taken-by=jasonferrier

ilter - I really wanted 650b as well and I lucked out that I barely fit on the 57cm size (largest 650b size as you know).

Hi Brad,

I am about your height and 83.5 pbh with a 57 Rambler. The fit is good for me. It took a little stem dialing to get the cockpit setup properly but that is what is good about threadless setups.
