Mike, Another point to consider is the tire you intend to use. I have
35 mm tires, smaller than Riv recommends, so that lowers the top tube. If
you want to max out the tires, for aggressive off road, that would impact
the standover. But the 54 still seems small for you. Jim D.
Kyle: I read your blog regularly; please start publishing twice a day.
Regarding bike weight: my own experience with a motley array of different

The Atlantic has a great little article on bicycle history and the
holiday. When I was posting a link I found a different photo of Jimmy
Carter with his Rivendell than the one I've seen in the past. He's just
standing astride the bike. A very handsome Allrounder. Thought I'd share:
I've heard this experience from others, and there is a reason why the
standard drop bar position, with 45* back angle, has been so popular so
long; and why saddle/bar equilibrium (relative to the individual rider of
course) is the crucial part of bike fit.

Mike,
I am 5'10 with a pbh of 87 and I went with the 58. For me, either size
would work. I too bought mine without a test ride, though I had a 56 Sam

use. Drop bars - go with the 54 for the shorter top tube. MTB or swept
My PBH is 87.5 and my primary bike is a 54 Hunq. It sounds to me like you
should go for the 58. The Hunqapillar's geometry means a long top tube so
your stem/bar combination could also affect your decision.
