RBW put me on a 61 Homer with an 8cm stem and Noodles and I couldn't
tolerate the extension after a while. Then put me on a 60 Bombadil (my
fault for thinking I wanted 700c wheels so I could swap them between my
bikes - in hindsight should have gone one size smaller with 659b tires but

It seems as if Riv tends towards a 1-sizing-fits-all situations sizing
philosophy on their frames regardless of intended application. I think it
behooves the rider to make some choices about their own preferences and
keep those in mind when seeking counsel from Riv. While I love my Saluki at
For reference, I have a 58cm Atlantis and Riv put me on a 61,and said I
could maybe even get away with a 63. I'm very happy on my 58. With 2"-plus
tires, I have very little standover height at all. Ultimately I decided on
a 58cm because it let me use a stem length I prefer. I'm running a 110cm
The short of it is: the 58 is working very well.
My body is a bit odd, I believe. I'm 6'3" with a 905 mm PBH. Shorter than
average legs attached to a longer than average torso (or maybe my neck is
just long). Initially, I thought this would mean that the top tube would

Daniel,
What bar/stem combo are you going to run with your Hunqapillar? I have a
62 Hunq and run it with a bullmoose bar. I have a 98.5cm PBH, I'm 6'2"ish
and the bike fits me like a glove. If you are a 90cm PBH and are running a
bullmoose bar, a 58 will probably feel great. If you a
Daniel, I was curious how this all worked out. Happy with the 58, or regretting
not getting the 62?

You really could go either way I suspect. Did you work with Rivendell? I'm
sure they set you up with the right stem/bar combo. If you do trail riding
now or ever, most people like the extra stand over height (I've never had
an issue with this.). Long way of saying if I'd gotten the 58 I'd
Yep, this is what I'm afraid of Deacon. I'm your size and measurement exactly
and looking at your photos, it's not as though your seatpost is bottoming out
or your bars are maladjusted.
I've got a 58 on the way and I think it was the wrong choice. Fret fret fret.
