It is my understanding that the riv road geometry changed over it's production time. My '96 54cm Road Standard with a 73 degree seat tube has a stand over height of right about 79cm with 700x28c tires. 61 - 54 is 7cm seat tube difference, plus a slightly more slack seat tube 72.5 according to the 97 catalog, put the stand over height at 86cm which would seem just right for a Riv. Keep in mind a couple things. The Road Standards were available as semi custom, so there were standard (60) and short top tube (58.5) varieties. Also I assume this is a bike you have considering purchasing, I would double check that the seller measured center to top. There was a 62cm frame option as well which might almost eat up that extra cm of height. I hope that helps.
