I ride a 48 Sam Hillborne, have a 79 PBH and am 5'6", so not tall. I really think Riv really does design bikes for shorter people, along with the taller people too. You just have to get used to riding 26" or 650b wheels, which shouldn't be an issue if you are short. No toe overlap with my Sam either, great bike. Generally most of my bikes range in the 51 cm range, that is where they are comfy to me. Riv sizing seems to be different though. On Tuesday, March 27, 2012 7:22:35 PM UTC-5, murphyjrfk wrote:
