The Long Bike - an experiment. Local Pickup Only

58cm seattube, and a 77cm top tube. Best for PBHs around 89 to 98. If you're tall and mostly torso, this could be the best fitting bike you've ever had. We had this made to see if there was any benefit to extending the top tube as long as possible and compensating with a super stubby stem and swept back bars. The long (ha) and short of it is: it rides fine, but if there is a benefit, it's not clear enough to warrant using top tubes this long on our normal models. It felt slightly different than my (Will) Rivendells, but not in a bad way, and after riding it for fifteen minutes it felt totally normal. I took it on a long-ish ride around Mt. Tam and had a great time. I'm long in the leg and short in the torso for my height, and the bars still felt like they were in the right spot. Comes with a sample of a wide 31.8mm Billie Bar that we decided not to order. I think the bars are one of two, and the bike is definitely one of one. Important: Local pick up only. We don't have a box big enough to ship this. No returns on web specials, and normal shipping rates apply. Please don't order and cancel later. If you do that there'll be a 10% restocking fee.
