Hangtown & Curdog,
That is fascinating. My fitted Specialized Roubaix is a 58. On Riv's web site they recommend a 60 Sam, and Riv confirmed this by phone. I can't help but wonder if the federal consumer safety guidelines on standover height force Riv to put riders on bikes smaller than they would choose to otherwise when dealing with them over the phone, email, etc.
Hangtown, may I ask your PBH?
