FS: New XL (59cm) Wolbis/Susie Frameset

[Paul M]

Purchased this frameset directly from RBW last year and never built it into a complete bicycle. I acquired a 56cm Susie and decided to put the other up for sale. The 56cm vs. 59cm only vary by 2.5cm in the effective top tube length. The 59cm also has a 31.8mm diameter top tube vs. 28.6mm for the 56cm. Would work best for someone 6' or taller. Email me directly for more information and pictures. Check out Portland Oregon Craigslist for my listing.  Thanks, Paul in Eugene Oregon, Track town USA

I believe your ETT is a typo, the 59cm frames are closer to 70cm effective toptube.

So I did measure it and came up with 68.5cm and the Riv geometry chart shows the same for a 59cm Susie. The only 70cm ETT on the geometry chart is the 64cm Clem L. Thats long and I know from owning one. Here's a picture that makes the Susie look that way.

My XL measures 68.5 also. In the latest batch Riv listed the larges (56) as a 68.5 and I assumed they made a mistake on their chart.

Just a logical deduction from the ratio of other dimension changes. The ETTs go 625-640-...-685? I think the just wrote down the XLs numbers by mistake. The Ls should be 660 from memory.

You're all set. Your original post says 58.5, 68.5 sounds correct.

These frames really do play better with more swept back bars… specifically any of the “_osco” bar models. I wouldn’t want anything more forward than the Toscos on my Gus… the frames are just too long for anything else, IMO.

The Susie is still for sale. Like all Rivendells it's way more than a Hillibike. As Russ Roca of The Path Less Pedaled website says in his review of the Susie W. Longbolts.  

"Like a 90's MTB... But Better!"

"Dirt Surfer"

"ATB"

"Commuter"

"Adult Cruiser of the Apocalypse"

Hello Paul,

Is this frame still for sale? If so, would you consider shipping to Europe? 

Delivery from the EU to US is about $90, if it's possible to send from the US to the EU for a similar price, that would be good.

I'm looking for a bike that will serve for a longish commute, and for some light touring and off road.

Cheers,
