I'm also concerned about the frame size. I bought this one 'cause the price was really, really good and the frame was in excellent shape. It's a 60cm, and for most bikes I ride something in the 54-55cm range (my PBH is 87.5 or so). However, Riv recommends a 59 or 61cm AHH for my PBH, so I'm hoping that this Expedition will fit somehow.
