I meant to post when it happened but a week or so ago I was riding by Wrigley
field before a game, on my regular commute, when I was approached by a
tailgater who made the observation that I must have taken an old road bike and
made it hybrid. I was riding a year old 2TT Sam Hillborne.

around your bars, and nothing to do with the bike itself. It's younique

One sees a monster, another sees a masterpiece , and they are both correct
in their assumptions.
Ha! Well, Frankenstein was the doctor, so (presuming intelligence on the
part of the commenter) he is clearly saying it's a smart bike! Grin. Unless
he's referring to Frankenstein's monster and pictures him green, and the
assortment of different looking attachments, calls it Frankenstein.
I think he saw your bike in all it's beauty and was at a loss for words
It's truly a thing of beauty only appreciated by a bicycle enthusiast .

Eric,
Looking through your pictures I see you may have ridden Hwy 49 between
Placerville (Hangtown) and Cool. If so, I'd imagine that to be an
adventure requiring nerves of steel. Occasionally I'll go on group rides
with the Placerville Bike Shop just to get some experience on these roads,

I need to replace the cables on my first generation Sam Hillborne. I like the

Hi all!
I am clearing a few bikes to make a bit of room, and hopefully soon have
enough funds for a Sam Hillborne (let me know if you have a 56cm!). All
bikes are steel, for someone around 5'8. 66.7% are lugged, 100% are fine
bikes. Please contact off-list, will happily ship at expense of
a bike only it's creator could love. I do prefer the white Hetres on it
myself, red tires are not my cup of tea.
Who cares anyway,..just ride!

I once put this question to the guys at Paul's. They claim (know or
believe?) that if you move the canti front pads forward of the fork blades
you increase the possibility of shudder. I have found that replacing the
long pads with shortys makes no discernible difference in braking and
widens
The Berthoud quill decaleurs only come in two lengths 91 and 121 mm which,
even with the hinging capability do not fit on all bikes. Berthoud makes
some shorter extensions but those come with the solid clamp for two-bolt
threadless stems. All the US distributers only sell the 4 different

Here's some old designs. Number 5 gives you lots of clearance for wheel
removal. Number 6 eliminates post flex completely, but try to get your fat
tire out. I pulled this from the BQ blog, obviously.

That is a gorgeous, gorgeous bike! Just love it!
Any comments on the 50mm Supremes? I like those tires a lot, and now that
they're in a full-sized model, they sound great!

there is some mixing and matching from boulder. boulder sells the quill stem
center pieces separately. so you can buy the decaleur you need based only on
expension. if that happens to be a faceplate type model, no problem. just buy
an extra center piece for a quill stem. it costs more than

The fat bikes were fun. The new Ice Cream Truck is the best of the bunch.
Well, except for a Ventana with a shocked fork. However, when all was said

my preference in both handling and comfort while riding.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use the term gobsmacked. I am.
