If it helps: the Moustache is a fairly aggressive (low and forward) bar.
Albastache is wider and a (personal bias here) wonderful best of all
possible worlds bar, being aggressive enough to easily ride tucked when
needed, but comfortable for a whole day of riding (at least for me). It

Thanks, all. That's a lot of good feedback. I'm interested in both the
Bosco bar and the Albastache/Moustache. I'll give Brian a call and see what
he recommends.

Mike,
I am 5'10" with a pbh of 87 and I went with the 58. For me, either size
would work. I too bought mine without a test ride, though I had a 56 Sam
Hillborne. I would make the choice based on the handlebar you intend to
use. Drop bars - go with the 54 for the shorter top tube. MTB or swept b
My PBH is 87.5 and my primary bike is a 54 Hunq. It sounds to me like you
should go for the 58. The Hunqapillar's geometry means a long top tube so
your stem/bar combination could also affect your decision.

Mike, Another point to consider is the tire you intend to use. I have
35 mm tires, smaller than Riv recommends, so that lowers the top tube. If
you want to max out the tires, for aggressive off road, that would impact
the standover. But the 54 still seems small for you. Jim D.
I think you qualify as long-legged. I'm just shy of 6'-2", with a pbh of
87cm, and have been keeping my eye out for one of those elusive 56cm
Hunquapillar's too. ;-)
In all seriousness - faced with the same dilemma, I'm interested in your
impressions if you get the opportunity to try both t

Another data point: I am about 5'9" with a pbh of 84 and my 54 Hunq is just
fine. Seems that a 54 would be small for you.

I'm 5'10 and 89.5 PBH. That makes me long legged for my height. I fell between
the 54 and 58 too. I got the 58 and it fits fine, although I don't like my
Bullmoose cockpit so much. I ride the Homer and Roadeo 99% of the time. I'm
between the 61 and 63 on those two, and have the 63 in both. They
i think 54 would be too small. i am 5'9-5'10 with 86 pbh and i have a lot
of stand over clearance on my 54cm. agree with patrick though. brian at riv
will tell you exactly what you need.

Mike,
My PBH is 90cm and I love my 62 Hunqapillar. I like my frames on the larger
side (my Quickbeam is 66). You'd be just fine on a 58. But talk with the
folks at Rivendell. They will steer you right. I know how it feels ordering
a frame without riding it, but they really do have the remote si
