As oppose to most of its sisters and brothers, it is not a trail bike, a hillibike, or a touring-camping bike, but a super versatile road bike (yes!) or country bike. Of course light loads can be carried with it, as all Rivendell bikes have eyelets to carry stuff around, but if your plan is to put the biggest rack and panniers loads to any of those eyelets, then a Clem, an Atlantis or an Appaloosa will definitely be a better option. Maybe even a Sam.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe CHG’s sloping, not-quite-mixte top tube lets you ride up a size and get the bars higher without bonking your crotch. This bicycle is ideal for upright handlebars, usable with drops if you ride a 5-7cm stem and are already used to drops, but we still recommend Albatross-and-other uprights. In its best form, it’s an upright-bar light bike for day rides, shopping, commuting with reasonable commute loads, and so-on.  Amazing bike, zippy, roadishlike, but super versatile, and comfortable. Just think of it as useful bicycle with a lowish top tube that lets you ride a bigger size and still get the bars high enough. Also, most riders can fit two sizes. Nobody is “in-between.” That’s the main benefit of low standover heights and tall head tubes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e650b wheels in size 49cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e700c wheels in sizes 53cm and up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eLong reach sidepulls \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e27.2mm seat post, \u003cb\u003enot included.
