hi Darin,
i'm planning my first century, also on a Sam, in about three weeks, and i'm
curious what kind of bars and tires you rode with.
thanks,
andrew

Enjoyed a wonderful century ride on my new Sam on Saturday, complete
with a mini-front rack, small Trunksack and fenders. Salt Lake City
is not a lugged-steel hot spot and I saw only one other Rivendell
(Atlantis with albatross bars?), a Heron, and a fellow on an RB-1 who
seemed to appreciate that he had a very nice bike but didn't realize
it was a classic. Lots of curious riders came over to ogle the Sam at
the rest stops and I answered many questions about what kind of bike
it was, its intended purpose (everything!), whether I had restored an
old touring bike, and whether the Brooks saddle hurt (I've been
hearing that question for years). I think most people presumed I was
riding it for the novelty and they seemed surprised that this is my
only bike (hopefully not for long--A.H.H. whispers to me in dreams).
As some of you know I am new to the Rivendell experience and I was
concerned that I'd miss the quickness of my racing bike. All
anxieties proved unfounded as I was so comfortable on the bike that I
rode the second half much faster than the first and finished with
sufficient gas in the tank to go considerably further if necessary.
I can't wait to ride it home from work today.
D.G.
