Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our bicycles and gear
How do I determine the correct frame size for my height?
We recommend measuring your pubic bone height (PBH) rather than total height for the most accurate fit. Detailed sizing charts are available on each product page.
Are your bicycle frames compatible with modern components?
Our frames are designed with versatile standards, allowing for a mix of classic aesthetics and reliable modern drivetrain and braking systems.
Do you offer custom paint or frame modifications?
While we do not offer custom paint, our frames are designed for longevity and can be modified or repainted by professional frame builders.
What is the weight limit for your touring racks?
Our heavy-duty steel racks are rated for up to 40 lbs (18 kg) on the front and 60 lbs (27 kg) on the rear, provided they are installed correctly.
Do I need professional assembly for my new bike?
For safety and warranty purposes, we highly recommend having your bicycle assembled and tuned by a certified professional mechanic.
Can I use tubeless tires on Rivendell rims?
Many of our newer rim models are tubeless-compatible; please check the specific product specifications before attempting a tubeless setup.
