Here are my two cents. I am 5'10" with an 85cm pbh. I owned a 58 Ram and found it to be a dream ride. Sort of the gateway drug to Riv philosophy for me. My Ram was destroyed in an incident with an elderly driver. It and 3 vertabrae were cracked. After several discussions with Grant over a AHH or Roadeo replacement (I went with the Roadeo) I bought a 56 San Marcos as a recovery bike. The "expanded frame" of the SM allowed me to get the bars up nice and high. The clearance also allowed me to experiment with 32mm tires and fenders. With the ability to add a rack, the SM is a bit more versatile for me than the Ram ever was. Bad roads, bad weather, a bit of gear to lug, it's all handled well by the SM. It's not the lightest or the prettiest Riv design, but for the bucks I don't think it can be beat, even by the beloved Ram. Good luck with your search.
