David,
You need to buy it. If for no other reason than it would be a great
show off for the SoCal Riv ride on the 16th. It does look like a very
nice bike. (Oh, yeah. Then it would give me a chance to ride a bike
I'd never see otherwise.)

I am ordering an A. Homer Hilsen. My PBH is exactly 33 inches (83.8
cm), I was informed that a 57 cm with 700 wheels would be better for
me than a 58 with 650s. Any opinions on my correct size frame? If
you do the math as on Riv site, my size frame is 58. Is a 59 cm way
too big?
For me, Riv's sizing recommendations are the star to steer by.

Yup, it's a Swiss Army 'bread bag' - somebody identified it for me off
list. Now, before you go out and buy one (they are absurdly cheap, I
found), here my story:
I've been riding with this bag since we found it, a few days.

Was this a recommendation from Rivendell, or someone else?

It doesn't matter much unless you're a crotch-worrier or if you need
your bars set at either the absolute highest or absolute lowest
possible height. The size of the wheels has zero consequence to
whether you fit on the bike while riding it, but if the bike is on the
big side, fat tires may push

I assume that recommendation was made on the basis of your reach.
According to the geometry chart the TT on the 650/58 is 58.5 while on
the 700/57 it is 57. I have a PBH of 84.5, but a short torso. With
drop bars and my seat back where I like it I find that a TT of over 57cm
has me more

I also use zip ties. My normal configuration is a front rack and
large handlebar bag, but the follow photos show a rear basket setup I
ran for a while. Perfectly sturdy and easy on/off. Zip ties with
some clear tubing around the rack tubes eliminate slippage and
rattles.
I've had good results with Dreft..

I went through personal turmoil between ordering a 59 or 61cm Hilsen. This
seemed big compared to my 57cm performance bike I'd been riding. Riv talked me
into the 61cm and I love the relationship between the seat, crank, and bars,
very comfy. Standover with Jack Brown 33's was a bit higher than
