Buy one size down on the Cross-Check. The standover clearance in any given size is less generous than it would be on a Riv of the same size (higher BB, different measuring scheme, etc)
However, I would encourage you to add couplers to a Riv. The Traveler's Check is a nice deal, but it's easier to pack a bike that has a threaded steerer. The threadless steerer is necessarily longer, and sometimes causes problems in packing. Not that it can't be done, but it's easier with the threaded style.
