I'm 5'11", barely 1" taller, yet my saddle height is 77-78, depending on the shoes I wear. I guess my torso is shorter comparatively, yet I have long arms. My stock original Homer configuration from RBW had me on an 8cm stem on Noodles, which felt too far out no matter how much I raised the handlebars. I now use a 5 cm stem at about saddle height or slightly higher.
When I bought my Betty, Keven insisted I get the larger 61 or whatever that size was, but I went with the 58 so my daughter's could also ride it. It fits me perfectly. The 61 Homer and Atlantis are fine vertically, but need the shorter stems for classic drop bars. I have a 6cm stem on the Atlantis now. Thankfully I could find those shorter reach Nitto stems. For upright rear-reaching bars, the sizing is perfect. Agree that fine tuning the sizing based on the intended configuration is needed in many cases and default RBW sizing recommendations are for upright riding handlebars.
