[RBW] Re: WTB - 51 Appaloosa or 51 Hillborne - or possibly 55 Cheviot
FWIW, I’m a guy with an 82 PBH (stubby legs, long torso) and I have a 55cm 2009 Sam. I believe the TT for that model year was something like 57 or 57.5 (don’t feel like looking it up). The bike definitely fits and is a joy to ride, but it does feel a bit long for me. Just saying a 55 might be worth a try, esp. if she’s going to set it up with upright bars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Homer Hilsen stolen in San Francisco
Edwin, Several things jump out at me. Nothing about this posting suggests that the seller knows about and appreciates the bike he’s selling is a Rivendell — which is what you’d expect if he had ever spent $3000 on it. Strange color in the photos at the very least, but also non-drive side photos and no close ups of components. Super generic ad that sounds like someone imitating a bike salesman. Bad formatting. Ultimately, just a hunch, but a lead that seems worth investigating. Best, Cameron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Looking back over Edwin’s comment, I realize that e/ correct plus the size is noted as 56cm. Apologies to the OP of the CL for my disparagement of his ad and to the OP of this post for a false alarm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Hi Tom, Is this your bike? This CL ad seems fishy to me. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/d/rivendell-homer-hilsen/6549937327.html Best of luck, Cameron Brooklyn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Who rides an off-roadish Sam?
I have a green canti Sam set up with Alba’s and 38mm Paselas that I rode all throughout Golden Gate Park after I got it. It definitely felt like “underbiking” at some points, but I had trouble discerning whether that was due to my set up or to my poor trail skills :) . Either way, I had a blast. I’ve ridden it on some more california mountain climbs up fire roads, but agree that anything more gravelly or rooty than that gets tough.
