You should really be asking yourself what would the ideal size be for you, and then find the bike. If it has to be a Riv bike, then spend the money and get the one that best fits, and not the cheapest one that barely does the job. Sure, Riv will sell you either a 56 or 60 Sam and tell you it will be fine, but then why do they offer the Homer in 1cm increments for sizes from 54 to 59? Size matters.
