Hi Jim,
I would argue, cheap hubs work just as well as the most expensive hubs, so
any modern-designed, clean hub will maximize function. Maintenance of a

wonderful bike. It rides comfortably at a casual pace but takes my hard efforts

John, my PBH is 89.2 and Grant put me on a 61.5cm custom road. I have since
bought a 62cm Legolas. All else being equal, I think the 62 would be your size.
I can send you pics if you want to see the proportions.
