Rivendells are sized on PBH. There is no direct constant correlation
between overall height and PBH, if there were , there would be no reason to
measure PBH, you could just go by your height. I am way out of the normal
height to PBH ratio range - 6' tall with 83 PBH - short legs & long body -
Joe is quite right - and if you were a little shorter, I'd say whether to
go 51 or 54 would depend on what handlebar setup you want to run, but at
5'11" even with your inseam I am very confident 54 is your size. I'm
5'8.5" and 80 pbh and my 51 fits great with a short stem and drop bars, but

It is really tough to buy a boutique bike without having ridden it. If
you’re going to pay >$3000 for a fully tricked-out Rivendell, or ~$1500 for
a frame+fork, you want to get it right. So…
Do you have a bike you ride or have ridden
As someone else mentioned, the reach is going to matter a lot. Hillborne is
nominally a road bike that can work with dropbars so you're going to need
the bigger frame anyway if you're using upright/reach-backers.

Hi Will,
I was in exactly the same situation as you, 82PBH and I think they stated
83 as the minimum for the 55 Sam (I think the sizing has changed a bit now
so not sure if it will make a difference). I ended up up going with the
larger model (55 over 51), although it does feel a little taller
