I've scored a used orange canti dtt (Waterford?) Sam. Otherwise the 10%
would've pushed me over the edge. Riv confirmed a 56 should be be great.
Thanks to all for the help. Will post pics when built.

Mr. Cbone97,
As you have a PBH of 87.5 cm and the discount Sam 56 has a stand-over of
84.5 cm which is roughly a 4 cm difference in inches that's 1.5 inches
which is fine IMO. The top tube is 59 cm which as others have mentioned
forget the dirt drop and use a longer stem. The 58 cm gives you
the waterford sams all have a cable stop on the seat stays for the rear
brake, the maxway do not. if you have canti's that's ideal, otherwise i
don't think there's any reason good reason to value the waterfords over
maxway sams.

I just bought one of the web specials. My PBH is 87.5 and I'm 5'10.5,
the fit is basically good, the top tube is plenty long ( with Alba's s),
the stand over is fine. My issues are that I want the seat further back
than I can get it and if I don't use toe clips I get a lot of toe overlap (
10% off that Sam special 56 today. I say go for it. That is a screaming deal.

@mr.trout:
I thought you were gonna say it is an orange Sam that got sun faded to
yellow from all your riding on it. ha ha!
I was thinking of my next bike I might do a custom color. Only thing I can
think of that I would like is cream headtube with metallic aqua frame. Like
a Bleriot.
I'm 5'10 with one of the earlier hillbornes with a 58 effective tt, with
the bars level to the saddle i use a 100mm stem with compact bars.
anything longer would be too long. it's on the cusp. i'd get the 56. here's
it's current state.
I can only speak from my own experience.
But I would think about how much standover height and seatpost showing you
will have/want. Bigger means less seatpost showing and less standover
(which I like).
Also, think about that TT. If you are not hurting with the reach you have

How did you get a yellow colored Hillborne?

That's a damned pretty Sam and makes me sorry I sold mine -- would be and

I would call and talk with Grant. He guided me perfectly on my Hunqapillar.
By the charts I should have a size down from 62 (90cm PBH), but he assured
me the 62 was what I wanted. He was right. There is a personal touch to
their sizing that doesn't fit on charts. Trust them.
With abandon,
With your PBH you are at the very bottom of the suggested sizing for the
58. The Hillborne is deceptive with it's sizing. My 52 feels as large if
not a little larger than my 54 Rambouillet. Given the choice of being in
the middle of a suggested sizing range or the bottom I would take the
Fwiw, I ride a 56, am 6ft tall and find the top tube a little stretched out
with drops. Depends on your riding style and bar preferences.
