Re: [RBW] Fitting on the Sam Hillborne
I have a PBH of 84.5 and the 56cm Hillborne fits me perfect. MAYBE the top tup is a little long and I should've purchased a shorter stem. (currently use a 9cm stem with 46cm noodles). I had been riding it with 37mm Panaracer Pasela's but a few months ago switch to Schwalbe Dureme 50's to see if they would fit. Naturally, I had to lose the fenders, but indeed they do fit. The huge tires brought the top tube up very very close, but I can still straddle the bike with just a bit of room. And, I wear very low shoes like, vans or cons. So... with a PBH of 84 you should totally fine as long as you don't go bigger than 40mm tires. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Awesome, now just have to sell a couple of bikes because my wife says 5 bikes living inside is the limit for an apartment in brooklyn On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 3:02 PM, Bruce Baker bkno...@gmail.com wrote: I have a PBH of 82.5 and am 5' 10 and have a 56cm Hillborne.

Re: [RBW] Fitting on the Sam Hillborne
I had a 56 Sam.. and I've got an 84.5 pbh.. standover wasn't a problem on the Sam, and I'm long-waisted so the tt fit was pretty good too (i'm about 5'11). This was with 40mm Schwalbe Mara Supremes. For comparison, a 52 Bombadil, 59 Canti-Rom, and a 58 SimpleOne all fit better than the 56 Sam. best, andrew On Sep 23, 2011, at 10:04 AM, Peter M wrote: Need someone who owns a HIllborne who can tell me what the real standover is on the 56cm.
