$1000 shipped CONUS or can arrange for local pickup (NJ, outside of Philadelphia)

Ever since I moved the kiddos over to my Cargo Clem I've had a hard time finding a job for my Apploosa. It's a wonderful bike but I simply do not need an All-Rounder while I have other bikes better suited to each type of riding I do. Two years of beausage. No dents or dings other than some mild depressions on the chainstays from the super-duper kickstand I used to use. There are some moderate scrapes near the crank and inside the drive side chainstay (loose chain incident). Other small scrapes here and there. The attached pictures should show it all.

Please PM me with any questions. Thanks!

Bump. I'll drop the price for local pickup to $900. Make me an offer.

Good morning, Bones,

Just sent a PM.


Is anyone able to tell me what the PBH range is for this 62cm frame? I've hunted around online and can't turn anything up.

Thanks all!

David

David,

Here is a chart from the Riv site:

I'm 6'2" with a 92cm PBH and I ride a 62cm Appaloosa with 45mm tires.  With my butt on the saddle I can get my tippy toes of one foot to touch the ground.  Stand over is right at my groin bone.  I would ride it any smaller or any larger.

Shouldn't this be true of any bike, regardless of standover height?

Ah, good point.  The standover, at 92cm PBH, is just short of the groin bone.  That's the important piece.

Been busy at work and lost sight of this. Frame is still available, feel free to PM me if you are interested.

Ben,

That's an interesting question: To   "With my butt on the saddle I can get my tippy toes of one foot to touch the ground." You replied: "Shouldn't this be true of any bike, regardless of standover height?" 

Imagine a very steep seat tube angle - saddle almost directly above the pedals vs a very slack seat tube angle- the saddle quite behind the bottom bracket. Even if you kept the bottom bracket height the same (there is some variablity between "low" road bikes and "high" cross bikes) you could imagine the difference. Even with 75 and 71 degree seat angle the difference can be noticeable - close to an inch.

Does that make sense?

Edwin

Update: I've decided to keep the frame. Yet another failed attempt at being rational. This frame clearly means too much to me. Thanks for the interest!
