My Heron touring is a 57cm and I have a 83cm inseam and a 72cm saddle height and its a great fit. The top tube isn't that long, it has a 72deg seat angle so that makes the reach to the bars effectively a cm shorter than most bikes with the very common 73cm seat angle.
The Sam Hillborne is not designed to fit to the same seat tube measurement as a traditional level top tube square frame like the Heron . I would order a 52cm if I wanted drops on the Hillborne, and a 55cm if I wanted sweep back bars. -Dave J On 1/16/16, Ryan Fleming <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Chad > > I'm a woman, but my measurements are similar to yours...my Riv road is > 56cm.I probably have a shorter torso, but maybe this could work for you? > The Heron looks like a heck of a terrific bike at a very nice price > > Good luck! > > On Saturday, January 16, 2016 at 8:19:24 AM UTC-6, Chad wrote: >> >> Marty, I'm going to shoot and email to Grant to see if he thinks this bike >> >> would be a good fit.
