One thought: if you're looking to ride soon, then Sam is probably the way to go. IIRC: Clem and Clementine are scheduled for fall. If you can wait that long (or possibly longer if there are delays), then no big deal. But... you'd be missing prime riding season, which is worth something.
With your PBH at 83, you could go either 51 or 55 Sam-- if you're concerned about stand over, why not go down to 51? It's also 650b like 52 Clem. (or do you think the head tube/handle bars won't get high enough?) shoji On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 2:19:26 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > You can't go wrong either way.
