I possibly retract my statement about being too small... After posting I swung over to the Riv site and for an 88pbh they show 57.5 - 62 with 26" wheels. That seems weird to me as they show 60-62 for 700c. There must be some geometrical stuff with wheel size that I don't understand. If you really like the bike (I do) then maybe a call to Riv to talk sizing is in order.
