Moving from novels written to novels dramatized, one more series I can
wholeheartedly recommend, as long as we agree that whodunits with action
are adventure, is the A Nero Wolfe series produced in 2001 and 2002.
Generally, I avoid American TV crime and spy and generally mystery and
thriller
Didn't the very first Sams have a longer top tube as they were intended for
upright bars? Then later runs had a shorter top tube?
I really liked the single paint blue and.green color schemes, except for
the Tuxedo Sam which looks fantastic with the white accents on gloss black.

Ben,
I'd have to do some research to answer all of your questions, but first I'd
like to point out that my Sam is a 62 cm from 2014, and it just might be
bicycle perfection. I hope you enjoy yours, and I really think you will.
I do recall that circa 2013-14, some Sams were painted single-color,

the earlier one did not have the two raised portions of the fork crown

Susie is easier because you have a triangle to fit a battery in at the
bottle cage bosses. Clem L has the bosses on top of the toptube and you
have to make sure there's enough room between the headtube and curve at the
rear for the battery.

Which is easier to electrify? Clem L or Susie W? Any advantages or
disadvantages one over the other? Thank you!
Yes... it has been a couple of years.

There was a darker green run - kind of a vintage Porsche color - around
2010 that had this "mistake", too. Some came without a cream headtube and I
thought looked better that way.

Good stuff, everyone!
The one thing that makes me wonder, though, is that this BLUG post below
makes it seem like the Sams that were coming out in early 2014 were
produced with the 62cm Sage not having a cream head tube, but other double
top tubes pictured have cream tubes.
You all got me excited for PBE so I went and checked but SWA tickets from
KC are just too expensive for the last minute trip.
I'll definitely plan better for next year.

I'd say ALL the 'early' Sam's have a single color, with no cream head
tube. Mine, bought in December '09 is all orange. I'm sure some people
might have gotten D repaint with a cream headtube. I associate the

Didn't it have something to do with the factory? Something like some of the
SH frames were done at Waterford and didn't have the cream accents.

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and catching up with the ones I

Hello Ben,
I have a 2014 Sage Green Sam, green on the head tube. For that run some of
the Sams had cream on the ht and some didn't. If you were making a purchase
early enough then you had a choice. I didn't but I've never been
disappointed.
Congratulations on acquiring a Sam!
Best,

Hi Ben, I have a 62cm sidepull Sam frame/fork form Riv in the spring of
2015. Here are the specs I've measured directly from my bike, which line
up pretty well with the current canti version.
Head Angle = 72
Seat Angle = 71.5
Seat Tube = 62cm
Eff TT = 627mm
BB Drop = 73mm
HT Length = 260mm
Here's the route as of now for the Sat ride to the Expo. I may edit the
route in the meantime. I'm open to suggestions. I hope to meet and ride
w/y'all. Thanks to Rick on Insta for helping me w/the
route. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37866372

Hello all.
I scored black and gray/blue medium MUSA shorts from Eric:
https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/dlY4wVQhNVA
They're great, but I'd be better off with size Small.
Anyone have size Small and would like Medium?
I'm also on the lookout for MUSA pants - Small or (preferably?)
Max I dig it!
What stem is that? Did you give it the dull finish or is that stock?
Heck of a seatpost too.
Newbaums bar tape? Pairs great.
Thanks for giving me some bikestoke.

Hi folks,
I'll be attending the Philly Bike Show on Saturday. Not sure if I'm biking
down from Trenton on my Platy but I'll look for y'all. I will recognize

introduced to Rivs as I picked up a catalog and talked to Will
I'm planning to go Saturday morning. I'm going to have breakfast at 8:00 at
Bruno's Germantown Ave/W. Northwestern Ave, then bike down the Wissahickon
trail, Kelly Dr. bike path and then over to the convention center (a few
blocks on city streets with bike lanes). Fun and scenic ride, no hurry,
Orange is now definitely the fastest color!
Are you actually riding this faster Ent or just mock it up?
if mocked up, send it for a spin anyhow!

Good morning!
I have purchased (and am picking up after work today) a 62cm Sage Green Sam
and I am really excited about it! I used the Wayback Machine to double
check what Riv would have sized me in (seller bought at the end of 2013)
and I've read Grant's "Reintroduction of Sam Hillborne" a
Please take lots of pictures.
Seeing the riders and their bikes would be great, pictures of exhibitors'
things too! Rivendell is going to be there and I know they were impressed
by the receptive crowds and embrace of fellow exhibitors so far from home
last time.
I know this year has been
That's great Jeremy . from "no rack" to seemingly out of nowhere comes
the "shiny new rack". You can't make this stuff up. The rack does blend in
perfectly with the long stays. I just may get one for my Susie.
