Hi, Here's a link to the the specs on my 63.5 cm Riv as an example: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QcCa4M8hwDI/SlusiESSwVI/AAAAAAAAAG0/EEdsStukMxI/s1600-h/joe.jpg
I have a PBH of nearly 83cm, or 6cm, longer than the original poster, and this frame works well for me. There's also a link on the Riv website on PBH and sizing of frames: http://www.rivbike.com/article/bike_fit/pbh_and_how_to_measure_it According to this, the original poster would ride a 60-62cm Riv Frame. On larger frames they inidicate the use of a PBH-27 formula in general, which is the 60cm number. If you tend to ride in cycling shoes with cleats (look or shimano or speedplay road) where you have some added height, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 62, but if not, the 60 may be a better way to go for straddling purposes.
