I'm 5'8" on a good day, 85 cm pbh, and have always been most comfortable on 58-59 cm Riv-proportioned bikes. Early in my bike career, the bike fitting guru at the shop where I was working expressed shock and dismay that I would ride such a large frame. He suggested that I'd be a better fit on a 52 cm bike. I tried several in that size, which was high comedy: knees nearly hitting the bars, etc.
On the other hand, with the "expanded" geo of the Hillbornes, I could be happy with either a 52 or a 56.
