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

I have a PBH of 82.5 and am 5' 10 and have a 56cm Hillborne. I don't have 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 On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 1:04 PM, Peter M
