I have a PBH of 84.5 and the 56cm Hillborne fits me perfect. MAYBE the top
tup is a little long and I should've purchased a shorter stem. (currently
use a 9cm stem with 46cm noodles).
I had been riding it with 37mm Panaracer Pasela's but a few months ago
switch to Schwalbe Dureme 50's to see
Awesome, now just have to sell a couple of bikes because my wife says 5
bikes living inside is the limit for an apartment in brooklyn

Need someone who owns a HIllborne who can tell me what the real
standover is on the 56cm. Called Riv and was told that it would be a
bit too big for someone with a 84cm pbh but have heard from other
people that it should be fine with just a few cm clearance. I ride a
58cm raleigh international
I had a 56 Sam.. and I've got an 84.5 pbh.. standover wasn't a problem on the
Sam, and I'm long-waisted so the tt fit was pretty good too (i'm about 5'11).
This was with 40mm Schwalbe Mara Supremes.
For comparison, a 52 Bombadil, 59 Canti-Rom, and a 58 SimpleOne all fit better
than the 56

a lot of clearance
but I like the fit I have on it and I love the relaxed geometry. By the way
I'm about the same weight as you also.
I think a 56 would fit you fine
