I'm sure people here know this, but its worth mentioning that Riv measures center-to-top, rather than center-to-center, which almost everyone else uses. Sometimes, I think, people might hear that they should be on a 60cm Riv frame, which sounds ridiculous as they've always ridden 55 or 57. But a 60cm Riv is really a 58 or 58.5cm to everyone else...
That being said, i think PBH is down to a science for Riv frames and Riv riding. If I really wanted to hammer, I'd go toward the lower portion of my range. If I wanted to tour, I'd go in the higher portion. Top tube really matters, so that measurement plus stem should be in consideration, too.
