I looked at our forlorn Murphy Project the other day and definitely
felt a twinge of guilt. The problem is that our To-Do list just gets
longer and longer, and in terms of priority, Murphy is way down the
list.
maybe the
lower mounts should be a size specific feature?

Beautiful work. The Hillborne and Ultegra headset look just fine
together.

Looks great! You really take some fantastic bike pictures. I love that
Hillborne orange. I've been riding a Surly Pacer quite a bit lately,
and it's equipped with Shimano Tiagra brifters. It's the first
brifter equipped bike that I've ridden in a long time. I know it's

looks like these bikes have a different fork crown than the prior
canti models. nice looking bike , that orange is just right ( I have
one)... and I agree those cranksets are not my preference.

As far as I can tell the decorative elements of the lugs are a bit
different on these Sams from the previous orange models.
And, much to my chagrin, the water bottle bosses on the seat tube are
mounted much lower- so low that the FD clamps between them.
Kind of ridiculous for a 60cm frame.

@ Shaun,
Thanks for the complements ... I too am a brifter man on my racey
Soma Stanyan.
The tape is Brooks leather in Brown. Super good quality stuff ... the
cork bar end plugs are a really nice touch.
In fact, I've added few more photos of the bars, tape, saddle, and a
few Polariods just for
The transition from the hoods to the flats looks fantastic. Which
bars are those?

Agreed Peter, having the FD mount between the bosses does seem like a
design flaw, on any size frame. I suppose you could use spacers to hop
over the derailleur clamp. It'll be tough to reach down that far to
grab the bottle while riding. Why not have it higher? Something I'm
missing?
Design flaw? No. Design choice with which some will disagree?
Yes.
Many cages clear the FD without standoffs...the King Cage Riv sells

For every frame with a low mount seat tube H2O setup, there's an
observer pointing out that it's unnecessarily harder to reach

As stated there are tradeoffs both ways. Best spacer I have fond to

Thanks William.
That's the first reasonable explanation I've heard for that design

I agree. Seems like the placement of the bottle cage bosses need not
be so low on a 60cm. Especially so low that they overlap the derailer
clamp.
However...
I have a double-top-tube 60cm Hillborne. While its bottle cage bosses
are reasonable where they are (on mine they're both solidly above the
