Prefer ONE of these frames but open to a complete build. A. Homer Hilsen, Legolas, Saluki. My pbh=77.

[Bill Lindsay]

I might be open to discussing my Hilsen with you. It's a 58cm 650b Hilsen in normal blue. Some body with your PBH might prefer a 60, or a 59 or 61 in 700c. Let me know if you want to talk about it

Hi Bill, thanks, but my pbh is a small person. I rode a 48 cm Hillborne and now have a 50 Cheviot.

My PBH is 89.5 and I ride a 63 Hilsen and 63 Roadeo. The Riv site suggests subtracting 27 from PBH for a "race fit" (more seat post showing). That would put you on a 50 or 52 Hilsen.

[Bill Lindsay]

I mixed up PBH with SH. Haha

[Kellie Stapleton]

Don't know what to tell 'ya except I'm 5' tall, the RBW site shows the now smallest Hillborne (51cm) with a minimum of 78 pbh, and the AHH stand over height for a 
for a 50 cm is 75. That's only 2mm to spare, which is really about NONE. I was fitted by RBW on my Hillborne; they recommended 48; they measured my pbh.

[Kellie Stapleton]

Whoops, typo I'm 5'5" tall. Also, from your quote above, "The Riv site suggests subtracting 27 from PBH for a "race fit." I'm an un-racer. (-;

[Tim]

So when Riv talks about a "race fit" all they really mean is that it shows more seat post. I fall right between a 61 and 63 Hilsen. I have a 63 and am showing a bit less than a "fistful of post." Your handlebar height would be well below the seat if you had what the rest of the cycling world calls a race fit. You won't have that with Riv sizing. And if you measured your PBH in bare or stockinged feet, as Riv suggests, then your stand over would be 2mm in bare feet (this does matter to Deacon Patrick!) which means you would have the extra clearance of the soles of your shoes. Also, stand over is really not much of an issue anyway., usually. I suspect you would be just fine on a 50cm Hilsen. Riv's recommendations are pretty spot on.

I have a 50 cm Saluki that doesn't get enough use. It's an early one, #84. Let me know if you want to know more.

Thanks!

[Kellie Stapleton]

Whoo Hoo! Definitely interested. 50 cm is perfect! Condition? Frame? Built up? Cost? Where are you located?

Can't wait to hear from you.
