I am the same height as you, but my PBH is 89. I ride a 63 canti
Romulus, which I purchased based on the Riv web site. The frame seemed
huge at first because I had been riding 60s, but if I were buying today,
I would buy a 64 or 65. I would not worry about the standover height
because most of the time you are pedaling.

My PBH is 92.7, and I'm curious to what standover height and framesize
would be recommended for an AHH frame? I'm 6ft 1.5in tall.
Looks like the 63 (with 88.8 Standover) would give me about 3.9 cm
(1.6 in) of clearance; while the 65 (with 90.7 Standover) would give
me 2 cm (just under an inch) of clearance.
Mostly riding for city commuting and weekend touring; occaisonal
packed/maintained dirt or rough pavement out in the hills but 95%
pavement.
In reading the Riv website; they mention the consumer products "crotch
clearance" of an inch. With the Riv method of measuring PBH (pressed
way up onto one's pubic bone) it seems the 63 would be right. 1.6
inches of clearance to the pubic bone would mean the inseam of my
pants will probably touch the bar when standing on both feet over the
frame (which I don't mind at all.) The <1 inch clearance on the 65
seems a little tight.
But then again, I most interested in fit/feel while riding.
Thoughts??
TIA! Howard
