Here's a little nugget from Will's email, I know a few people were looking for the geo charts of the new frames.

Thanks for sharing this Max. I enjoy geeking out on the numbers!

Interesting to see that the chart shows a 2.5" max tire width for the Gus/Susie lineup.

The RivBike site says 2.6" max and when the frames first came out they were expected to fit up to 2.8". That was ... optimistic!

And, the website no longer shows a 60cm option for the GBW frames.

Great resource - nice to have all the numbers in one place.

As for stated tire clearances - it may vary from model to model (Roadini's at ~42 sound right) but some look to be pretty conservative. For example, Platys fit 55s without issue; I'm running 50s (measuring a full 2") with fenders. Then there's Grant's maxxed out Clem with 2.6" tires vs the ~55mm on the chart.

I have 2.8s on my Susie. With fenders. I wont claim the fenders were easy or that the steering is ideal, but they fit fine. Still, 2.5 max is interesting.
