My thought is to go smaller if your upper body is proportional to your PBH. I have a PBH of 91, but I am only 5'10" (not proportional) and those are big steel bikes! In some ways, I lack the upper body strength (I am a woman) to really handle a bike of this weight. 'RDS' doesn't tell me your gender;-). The additional length of the larger frame is great for stability which at least for now isn't as important when on a paved roads. The fact that it is step-thru is what allows people to over-size on that frame, but it has to be for a good reason. As for color, it doesn't matter if orange isn't an option;-).
