Hello Group!

My name is Avery Wilson. I've chimed in on a few discussions over the past 
year, but I've been reading the group pretty consistently for a year or so.

I currently have a 56cm Sam Hillborne (one of the blue headtube web 
specials from last year). 

See a pic here <https://www.flickr.com/photos/122008974@N05/>.

I've been riding the bike since early last summer. I MOSTLY love it!  I 
love the comfort, the laid back geometry, the high bars, the aesthetics, 
etc. etc.  However, I've been wondering if its too small for me.  My PBH of 
88 put me right in between the 56 and the 60cm, and as you can see from the 
picture, I've got an "immodest" amount of seatpost showing. :)

If I replace it (advice solicited here!), I've been thinking of getting an 
AHH, and effectively "combine" my Sam and another more roadish (Velo Orange 
Randonneur that's too small for me as well) into one bike to rule them all. 
The Homer seems more suited to the type of riding I do anyway - all day 
rambles, quicker short road rides, occasional gravel, not much dirt (I've 
got a sweet 29er for that), occasional S24O, but no real touring.  Double 
top tube Sam may be overkill anyway!  

It seems I would be in between a 61cm and a 63cm on the Hilsen if you use 
the Saddle Height - 15-17cm method.  Does anyone with a similar PBH have 
any experience with 61-63cm AHH bikes?  I feel like the 61 would be great, 
but I want to avoid chickening out and getting another too-small bike 
again, thus I consider the 63...

General comments, questions, and observations are welcome!
