65. Always go bigger if you're between two sizes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Howard (Denver) To: RBW Owners Bunch Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2010 10:08 AM Subject: [RBW] 92.7 PBH - is a size 63 AHH frame right for me?
My PBH is 92.7, and I'm curious to what standover height and framesize would be recommended for an AHH frame? I'm 6ft 1.5in tall. Looks like the 63 (with 88.8 Standover) would give me about 3.9 cm (1.6 in) of clearance; while the 65 (with 90.7 Standover) would give me 2 cm (just under an inch) of clearance. Mostly riding for city commuting and weekend touring; occaisonal packed/maintained dirt or rough pavement out in the hills but 95% pavement. In reading the Riv website; they mention the consumer products "crotch clearance" of an inch. With the Riv method of measuring PBH (pressed way up onto one's pubic bone) it seems the 63 would be right. 1.6 inches of clearance to the pubic bone would mean the inseam of my pants will probably touch the bar when standing on both feet over the frame (which I don't mind at all.) The <1 inch clearance on the 65 seems a little tight. But then again, I most interested in fit/feel while riding. Thoughts?? TIA!
