I'm 6.2 with a pbh of 95 to 96 as measured by my wife while I hauled up hard! My Hunqapillar is a 62 cm with 48 cm Noodles.I have 50 mm Schwalbe Marathons on. I came from a 62 cm Trek 5000 road bike to Hunqapillar. My old saddle height was 83.7 cm, right now I don't really know, just at a nice comfy place that gives me plenty of power and no pain. I have lots of saddle height adjustment to go on, both up and down. At the moment my Noodles are as high as possible, which means I can use the drops in all downhills and on rough gravel or soft dirt roads. I can also stay comfortable in the drops for a long time.
The Hunqapillar has so much adjustments available and so many possible choices for handlebars, pedals and tires that you can adjust into whatever position you enjoy. Personally I feel no need to listen to anybody else than my body when it comes to angles and measurements, and I do change them when I feel like it. I have long arms, but a relatively short torso, you should check yours to help you choose handlebars. Being 6.2 or 6.0 really doesn't mean anything. Some people have long necks and tall heads, others have a round head posted straight on the shoulders like me. No impact for your choice of bike. I guess the message to you is to check that pbh, call Rivendell and feel safe that you will get a bike that fits.
