When I am on my Sam, I truly love this bike. It does everything I want a bike to do. I consider this my do everything bike from commuting to fun rides, With Hetres, the ride is sublime. With the Marathons, the ride feels solid.
It's when I am off the bike and I have to look at it, that I have my reservations. I just can't get over the sloping top tube. To me, it is just plain wrong. This is just personal preference but a classic steel lugged bike should not have a sloping top tube. Outside of that one aesthetic, I have no problem with recommending this bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
