I'm more intrigued by this bike all the time. I agree with others that 1.125 stems are an improvement, headset adjustment wise. But I still prefer 1-inch quill stems, aesthetically, so that's a plus to me. And downtube shifter bosses - hella yes! And if you don't like em, see if your LBS has some of those old-school sweet Dura-Ace barrel adjusters or get some on the 'Bay. But I also agree that the kickstand plate is a bummer. Practical sure. My wife would say a plus. But no way would I personally put a kickstand on this bike, so aesthetically It's just hangin' there picking up muck. And I'm no fan of sloping downtubes which I understand this has a bit.
Other than lugs, what do folks see as the main differences between the (maybe) San Marcos and the Sam? And finally, if I get one, am I a Rivendell Owner, or a tolerated bastard cousin?
