I have a 60 cm Platypus. Previous Homer (from many years ago) in 59 fit me well. Same with Hillborne in 55 (current canti version) that I’ve ridden. Current Homer, I’m not sure, but I think 54.5. I’m 5’10” with 85-86 PBH and like saddle height of about 76. So the 51’s would be too small for me.

You need to look at PBH sizing and effective toptube numbers to find your size in Sam and Homer, the seattubes will now be in the 51cm range for you. Great bikes which will cover your needs well, plus I would consider the Platypus if you want low stepover and canti/v-brakes in a road-ish frame.
