You're not going to like the seatpost/stem extension on a 51 Appa if it
bothered you on a 52 Clem.
I'm 80ish PBH, short arms and fit well on a 55 Cheviot. I think the fit should
work for you, but you're correct that it might be a little underbuilt (maybe
talk to Riv about it).

I don’t know that the difference between 52/59 Clem’s will be as drastic
between a 55/51 Sam. The Clem’s feel bigger to me and their differences
greater. Meaning I would maybe try the 51 Sam before you rule it out.
That said, I think a 51 Appaloosa would be great for you. Big tires, can handle

John,
I have a 54cm Ram, wear a size 10 shoe. I have a bit of toe overlap at low
parking lot speeds. Doesn't effect my road riding, but I'm extra careful
weaving through pedestrians and parked cars.

Why use p-clamps? It looks like there are 2 holes (possibly threaded) in
the dropouts -- they're lower and farther back, would be more secure
mounting points, and would make the rack geometry better (less backward

panniers?
