I had a 52 blue sam with 71 SH.
Lowest I coukd get bars was 1.3cm below saddle. So beware going too big.
Call riv and they will set it up and email you pics.
Hello folks,I'm reaching out for some input regarding current Sam Hillbornes....

I am 6' tall with a 83.5 PBH - short legs, loooong torso. I ride a 56cm Sam (last generation - Double TT) it is too "big" for me according to Riv's sizing recommendations, But I need to put the seat back all the way on the post and use a 100 cm stem with drops. Because my body proportions are several standard deviations from the norm, I have almost always ridden a bike that is too "big" for me. Years ago when I bought a LeMond Buenos Aires, the shop measured my pubic bone height and tried to put me on a 54 cm frame. It was comically undersized, even the salesman agreed. I ride what is comfortable to ride, not what I can comfortably straddle when I stop.

John,I'm pretty sure the green, first run Sam's actually had a 59 tt. Riv could probably confirm this. That might be a great fit. I do think those first 56s had a double tt, which I always coveted, but some dislike. All a matter of preference.
Good luck!
Chris
