My PBH generally puts me in the middle of sizes. Either at the top of one range or bottom of the net. For a step thru/general use bike I would go with the size up and for a road setup or diamond frame model I would size down. That has always worked for me. I understand that Rivendell will sometimes suggest massively sizing up on step thru frames but I have never been comfortable that way and also just don't like the look of a slammed stem and seatpost.
