[RBW] Informal poll: Sam Hillborne sizing, 6' tall about an 85PBH?

I have almost exact dimensions as OP. I was at the Stop Swap and Save a few weeks ago and stood over someone's 58cm Sam they were selling. I could clear the TT but it seemed like it would be a stretch to ride with drops. They had it set up with some form of sweep back bars which may have

I have indeed search around for a 56 Sam with the shorter top tube. (I had a WTB post a little while back.) But I’m not really counting on one showing up, hence my decision point between the 55 and 58 sizes. John > On Feb 16, 2018, at 11:46 AM, Surlyprof wrote: > >

Truer words were never spoken. Separate thought: I think someone could make a fortune selling or renting a fit cycle that could actually be ridden, at least around the block a few times. > On Feb 16, 2018, at 9:17 AM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I’d say 55, but I’d also

Marc, what’s the TT of your 56 Sam, since there were geo changes through the years? (Would you have a photo?) > On Feb 16, 2018, at 9:54 AM, Marc Irwin wrote: > > I'm 5'11"and and have an 84 PBH. I ride 56 Hillborne and 54 Hunqapillar. > They are both incredibly

Have you tried seeking out a first run 56 with the longer top tube? Would probably fit you perfectly. BTW... I forgot to mention that I also set my saddle height at 75. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

I am 5’11” with an 85 pbh and ride a 56. I use an albastache bar with an 8cm stem or an albatross bar with an 11. Mine is the year they shortened the top tube from 59 (green, first run) to 57.5 if I remember correctly and it fits great. I was initially concerned about the standover height

Riv will set up stem height and saddle on one of theirs to your measurements and send a pic to you so you can see what it looks like if you ask. I had a 52 blue sam with 71 SH. Lowest I coukd get bars was 1.3cm below saddle. So beware going too big. Call riv and they will set it up and email you

Hello folks, I'm reaching out for some input regarding current Sam Hillbornes. I'm 6' tall with an 85PBH (say, 86.25 PBH with shoes.) Saddle height ~75cm, a Brooks B17 which runs about 6cm tall. Riv recommends a size 55 frame, but I know I could ride a 58. I'll ride on pavement and trails.
