My daughter went down one size from their guidelines and got a perfect fit for her Cheviut. She has short legs and a long torso for her size. My wife has the exact recommended size on her Betty Foy and has very little seat post showing. When I bought my Rambouillet I was inside the specs for a 64 but felt more comfortable on a 62. I think the RBW guidelines are a good starting point but some personalization is in order. I think GP assumes the rider wants very high bars and his larger size makes hat easier, but if you are happy with bars at saddle height one size smaller may be better.
