With stems and seatposts you can always make a bike a size bigger.  It's
tough to shrink them.

Subject: [RBW] Re: Riv Bike-Fit/Sizing Method Questions


I'm 6'0" with an 86cm PBH.  I could have gone for either a 58 or 60
Rambouillet, but 58's are rare as hen's teeth on the used market, so I
bought a used 60cm.  I love the frame, but it really feels too big for
me...I raced in my youth, and have always felt that 58cm frames
usually fit about right, but this 60cm has me feeling like I'm riding
the high wire...to the point where I'm seriously considering selling
the 60cm Ram frame and going back to my old (58cm Specialized Allez
steel) frame (I'd prefer to find a 58cm Ram, though, so I can continue
to run wider tires).  I guess part of me also disagrees with Grant's
bigger frame = better philosophy, so take that with a grain of salt.
However, if I were in your shoes, I'd go for the smaller size in the
recommended size range.

Pete
