Welcome, Phillip!
I can't speak to a Joe or AHH, I'm sure both would be great choices, but
for me, the Sam has been a blast to ride on just about everything except
hiking trails. A big difference between the Sam and the AHH is canti-posts.
Maybe explore the various Rivendell builds at

Super interesting to see this new single (double?) speed! This past fall, I
finally had the funds to get my SimpleOne built up for riding here in hilly
western mass. Here's a link to some images post by my LBS, they put
together the bar, stem, brake, and fenders (they also built the wheelset).
Right, looking at the links you started out with, this seems a fairly close
match:
https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/papyrus-brim-sun-hat-243408?cat=124,24,6,402
Can't say I have any experience with that hat, but, I've never had an issue
with any OR products.
$36 fairly inexpensive.
On
Ex Officio and Outdoor Research make great sun-protective clothing, I've
used Ex Officio for extended trips throughout India, holds up well and
keeps the sun off. Kava also offers sun hat solutions, a bit goofy but
solid.

Just had a pair of the V/O 52mm Zepplin fenders installed on my SimpleOne
over top of 42mm Compass Hurricane Pass tires. The clearance kinda seems
about the same +/– compared to my Sam thats running 43mm BG R'n R's.
Clearance is pretty good, you'll def. hear and feel peddles on rougher
roads.
Here's a fairly simple solution for the *dropout* from V/O, which helps to
create a nice round fender line.

Anyone ever use a Canti brake up front and V-brake in the back? I know I'd
need different pull levers, which complicates things, but I've noticed up
front, the V-brake can sometimes be a little more than I need, it's great
in the back though. I have two sets of Paul neo-retro canti's sitting

I recently had issue with a Nitto stem coupled to a Bosco bar, for me, the
bar would slip up and down. No matter how much I leaned into the stem bolts
(same Nitto set up as yours - not the nice triangular rear bolt), just
could not solve the issue, so I decided to move to the Bosco moose,

Tough choice.
Personally, I'd get the XO-2, seem's to have more of the "fun" baked into
the DNA. Kinda perfect for all things local on or off road.
Not sure what the world has to offer in regards to 26" tires these days,
something to consider.
IMO, save the $$$ and get a Cygolite, a rim brake
Hi Joel,
My wife just picked up a 51cm Bassi Hog's Back from Analog Cycles, she
loves it, I'd suggest giving it a look. Analog just finished a 55cm
Hillborne with Bosco bars for me, really can't get anymore upright than
Bosco's. I'm close by in Amherst. You might want to reach out too Analog,
Just wanted to ask if anyone has fit a 55mm Compass Fleecer Ridge up front
on a S. Hillborne? My 43mm Rock n' Road has a ton of space around the fork
crown, just wondering why be limited to what can fit in the back?
Thanks!
Scott

I have a 56 SO. Maybe consider the height of the tires you plan to use,
currently I have 43 Compass Hurricane Ridge, fairly tall. I'm like 5'11"
give or take, 84 pbh, I think a 58 would be too large for me, the 56 fits
well, I guess a 58 could work, bit, it's nice having stand over space
Wow, if that was my size, don't think I'd hesitant on it, that's a freaking
steal at 2k.
