[Davey Two Shoes]

be away. Cant wait! Let the parts obsession begin.

Yowza, Edward! That's a really beautiful build. I love the flash of red 
that the chainstay wrap adds to the limeolive. Very cool. Your Sam's got 
all the right proportions and with those albatross bars I'll bet it is a 
dream to ride!

Nicely done!

Cheers.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Luke Hendrickson]

Like the color of my Atlantis, it’s hard to capture. The best I can say is 
that it’s almost … radiant? There’s a warmth to the silver that makes it 
look better than other silvers I’ve seen. Also, I was decidedly *not* a fan 
of the LimeOlive but then saw it in person and like it even better than the 
HiHo!

nice in-person.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Guy LeVan]

The HiHo silver looks wonderful, and will be a neutral enough palette to 
absorb plenty of colorful bits.  It is nice to see a different color on the 
Sam.  I’ve seen the LimeOlive on the Clem L, and it is dazzling in 
sunlight.  Both color options play well with the cream highlight paint, and 
you can hardly go wrong with either.  Looks like only the 57 in LimeOlive 
has sold out at this point.  HiHo……!

 I think these new colors will look especially good with some kinda

 warm 
 bar tape and grips! Subtle, timeless warmth. Just me, that's my thing,

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Drew Henson]

Sorry about that! I based my decision with my experience with the fit of my 
2019 58cm Homer. The 57 cm sam has a longer reach/effective top tube than 
my homer and i wouldn't have been able to use drop bars i don't think (but 
swept back bars would easily work).

Keith,
If you click on a size and color and then put in a high quantity, it will
tell you that you can only add so many to your cart.

Drew,
I have the same PBH and grabbed an 87cm, which I was hesitant to get and
now you have me second guessing my size decision. Ughh.

 I'm not looking to buy a Sam, but I just glanced at the size
 chart on Instagram, and, wow, the sizing has changed dramatically 
 over the
 years. My PBH is 82cm. That puts me on a 51cm Sam for this current 
 batch.
 When I test rode one of the originals with caliper brakes, it was 
 a 56cm I
 believe, and it fit perfectly. I haven't kept up with the geometry 
 changes,
 but I'd really like to see what it's like to ride a 51cm frame and 
 be at
 the top end of a size range for once. I bet the reach would be 
 sublime.

Here's what's left after ~50 minutes:
48cm, 1 silver, 6 olive
51cm, 5 silver, 8 olive
54cm, 1 silver, 5 olive
57cm, 1 silver, 1 olive
60cm, 6 silver, 6 olive

Seem to be selling way faster than the Platys (assuming a similar # of 
frames available, which seems reasonable as I believe they've said this is 
the most popular model). And if colors are equal silver is very popular.

 I think these new colors will look especially good with some kinda

Might have been me?

I got a Silver 54 as well. First Riv. 
Excited and relieved.

I wonder how they are moving this round.

Nice Drew.  I nabbed a 54cm Silver as well.  Already spoke with Vince. 
 Since their parts bin is deeper than mine I am going to have them build it 
up and leave my RB-1 shiny bits where they are.  #2 in line.  Someone out 
there is faaat.  :-)

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Drew Henson]

just grabbed a 54cm silver. i went into thinking i'd go for a limeolive but 
something about the very understated silver made me change my mind at the 
last minute.

i have an 87 cm pbh so i could have fit the 57 but i wanted to fall on the 
upper end of the fit range. really keen to see how this rides differently 
than my 2019 MIT Homer. now the fun begins... finding all the build parts!

I’m with you Eric.  My Saluki which I got last winter is a taupe and it
looks great with brown and grays.  If I was ready to sell my Hillborne I
would order a Silver tomorrow.  But it makes no sense.  If someone was hot
for a bright orange I could be tempted.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

Eric, I agree.  I do like the blue, have an Orange that I bought as it was
the only one I could find when Riv was out, it is ok but not my favorite
color. Love that new Silver.  My favorite colors are the Black (like your
repainted one) and the new Silver, absolutely beautiful colors. There are
probably others I have not seen but that silver has my vote.

 My PBH is 82cm. That puts me on a 51cm Sam for this current batch. 
 When I
 test rode one of the originals with caliper brakes, it was a 56cm I
 believe, and it fit perfectly. I haven't kept up with the geometry 
 changes,
 but I'd really like to see what it's like to ride a 51cm frame and be 
 at
 the top end of a size range for once. I bet the reach would be sublime.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Eric Marth]

I'll be interested to see how quickly these move. The Hillbornes are such 
great bikes, adaptable for many purposes. I could definitely see the paint 
colors this round getting buyers excited. Nothing against 'em but the RBW 
blue, orange and harvest gold didn't do much for me. New colors are rel 
good.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

I agree with Joe on this one. If a mixte/step-thru isn't for you then the 
Sam seems to be a great option. Those lugs and those colors are nice.

It will sell well but I don't think we are going to see immediate sell outs 
on anything the way it had been happening.

 My 
 PBH is 82cm. That puts me on a 51cm Sam for this current batch. When I 
 test 
 rode one of the originals with caliper brakes, it was a 56cm I believe, 
 and 
 it fit perfectly. I haven't kept up with the geometry changes, but I'd 
 really like to see what it's like to ride a 51cm frame and be at the top 
 end of a size range for once. I bet the reach would be sublime.

Yep. The folks who will never ride a mixte/step-thru haven't had a lugged 
Riv on the block in quite a while and these colors are spectacular. Don't 
doddle!

[RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Drew Henson]

I am planning to grab a 54cm one to replace my 2019 homer (58cm). haven't 
decided on color yet and they both look so good. 

will be whipping up a sales post later but if anyone browsing might have 
interest in the homer let me know. it's a sublime ride with swept back bars 
but i want to try out a sam.

['Slacky Mac' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Let's hope Wednesday proves to be a great day for all those interested!  
I've studied the size charts and glad I did.  I have a 59cm RB-1 which fits 
fine, yet the 57cm Sam has a higher standover.  The charts put me on a 54 
Sam.   These bikes have a big front end!  Save a Silver one for me, please.

[RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Paul Clifton]

I'm not looking to buy a Sam, but I just glanced at the size chart on 
Instagram, and, wow, the sizing has changed dramatically over the years. My 
PBH is 82cm. That puts me on a 51cm Sam for this current batch. When I test 
rode one of the originals with caliper brakes, it was a 56cm I believe, and 
it fit perfectly. I haven't kept up with the geometry changes, but I'd 
really like to see what it's like to ride a 51cm frame and be at the top 
end of a size range for once. I bet the reach would be sublime.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Ryan Bolesta]

I've been eagerly awaiting the Sam drop for a few months now, the new pics 
have me so pumped! This will be my first Riv if I'm lucky enough to get 
one. Looking to get the LImeOlive 60cm. Seems like the 60cm frames have 
been hanging around on some of the other recent drops, so fingers crossed.

 I might try to pick up a used dark gold Sam sometime in the next year 
 or so, or maybe if someone is selling one from this batch.

 Anyone want to take any bets on whether or not they've made any changes 
 to the geometry and sizes available?

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Ryan Stanis]

Confirmed in the email sent out today, no geo changes from last batch. My
2018 Sam is 26.8, so as previously stated, not a new development for the
frame. Wish I didn't already have one, the lime olive is quite possibly my
favorite riv color I've seen, second maybe to the green Hunqapillars.

I’m with you.  I’d trade my near mint orange for a silver in a heartbeat.

"I do not recall a 26.8mm seatpost in the past for the Sam H."

My Dark Gold Sam from the last batch 2 (3?) years ago has a 26.8 seatpost 
diameter, so this isn't new.

[RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

['John Hawrylak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

2 stand outs on this batch of Sam H's from the geo chart:

The seatpost is a 26.8mm,  NOT a more standard 27.2mm.   This indicates the 
28.6mm seattube wall thickness is 0.8mm vs a more standard 0.7.   The 
Butted section wall is probably 1.1mm or thicker.  Seems like Grant likes 
thicker walls at the BB, as has been mentioned in a previous post.  I do 
not recall a 26.8mm seatpost in the past for the Sam H.

The Chain Stay LENGTH varies from 45.5cm (near standard) for a 48/51cm 
frame to 48.5cm for a 60cm frame.  Seems RBW is trying to locate everyone 
at the same spot along the chain stay.  This was mentioned in a previous 
post, but in a funny way.  Seems like they decided to go with it.  Tall 
riders may feel a change.  Short riders less so.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[EGNolan]

Brian asked "Anyone want to take any bets on whether or not they've made 
any changes to the geometry and sizes available?"

My best guess, based on the location of the chainstay indentions is that 
they've increased those to more closely match the rest of the lineup. I've 
got a LCS (long chainstay) Cheviot, which I absolutely love, and a more 
normal, but lengthy for the time Bleriot, which I also absolutely love. I 
imagine there will be some folks bummed at not having shorter chainstay 
options, but we all saw this coming (and they may have even said as much at 
some point and I either didn't see it or forgot about it).

Yeah, I've been on high alert since the beginning of November. Can't wait.
We're almost there.
I thought I was going silver till I saw how the olive turned out... hard
decisions to be made.

[RBW] Re: New Sam Hillbornes

[Brian Turner]

I really want one of these, because the lime olive is so gorgeous, but I 
don't think I'll be able to fund another Rivendell so soon after building 
up my Gus just a couple months ago.
I might try to pick up a used dark gold Sam sometime in the next year or 
so, or maybe if someone is selling one from this batch.

Anyone want to take any bets on whether or not they've made any changes to 
the geometry and sizes available?
