Pick the frame size that your PBH falls most in the middle of the range. For instance: I (Will) have a 96cm PBH, so I could ride the 59cm, but a 64cm will fit better because I won't be maxing out the size.

Since there's no standover issues, you can go bigger if you want:

A lot of our customers and some staff have found that oversizing the Clems makes for a more luxurious ride. If you want to try that, use the following formula to figure out if you can achieve your saddle height on a bigger frame:

Seattube length + 13cm = minimum saddle height. That means the minimum saddle height on a 59cm frame is 72cm, which means someone with an 83cm PBH can ride a 59cm. You may want to go shorter in the stem length, but try it out with the stock stem first. If you're longer in the torso, this is a great way to fit a bike. 

Is there room for customization?

Only if you're picking the bike up here, and there will be a labor charge. Part of the reason we can keep the cost down on completes is that we send them out straight as they come to us. We also can't add additional parts to the boxes; if you need additional parts, please make a separate order.
