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.

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
Great looking build! How did the HiHo Silver look in person? Curious….

I just saw the silver and lime irl yesterday at Riv. Man that lime sure is
nice in-person.

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
props to Riv for getting my frame shipped already! i'm sure they have a
long list to go through.
too bad it'll be a while before i can get it rolling but i love picking out
components.

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).

I’m with you Eric. My Saluki which I got last winter is a taupe and it

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.

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
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,
I'm not looking to buy a Sam, but I just glanced at the size chart on

rode one of the originals with caliper brakes, it was a 56cm I believe,

I've been eagerly awaiting the Sam drop for a few months now, the new pics

On Thursday,
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.

My bright orange from the batch before the Dark Gold is 27.2.

The seatpost is a 26.8mm, NOT a more standard 27.2mm. This indicates the
