I'm hoping Sam can be my next bike (no less than 5 years from now). I am a
Clem owner so I think a Sam would be the perfect compliment. I dig the

I own the original Hillborne orange (maybe 2009 or ‘10) which is almost
pearlescent shifting to shades of gold in the sunlight. I love both the color

down to 57.5). That said, I thought the black and cream was one

Whether the current Sam is too long, too short, or just right certainly
depends on your body type but for me, it's perfect. I have a 51 that fits
me spot on, and I believe strongly that in order to really love a bike, it
can't just be close - it needs to fit. For my 50cm drops I run a 5cm

I think MTB's were steered to long top tube short stem route because
of Fat 29er wheels and long travel suspension. Doesn't mean it doesn't
work well, but it's not unheard of for the bicycle world to sell a
compromise as a feature. Maybe 650b wheels are the better compromise?

It seems that many riders are very happy with short stems and bars
compensating for longer top tubes. I'd have to try such a combination
before I paid for one, but it seems there are many different ways to skin a
cat -- so to speak. And now I recollect that modern mountain bikes have

My 58cm Fuji TSV had a 56cm top tube. My 58cm Romani a 55.5cm top tube.
Best fitting bikes I've owned. Would love to see a Sam with a slightly
shorter top tube. I believe there would be interest in such geo given the
seemingly (?) growing market for shorty stems... and a 100mm Nitto looks

The analog stem is no joke. I run a 30mm one on a MUSA Atlantis that fits me
like a glove and fit me like a glove before the short stem. It has improved
comfort, and handling especially off road. It’s definitely stiffer than a
longish technomic, so maybe that’s the handling improvement I feel.
Clayton, most people I know, if changing from drops to upright bars on the same
bike, would use a longer stem for the uprights. That’s not an emotional
decision. For myself, if on a 59 Atlantis with its 64cm top tube, I’m not
running anything but upright bars on it. I bet it’s great too, but

People accept and love handlebars like Bosco, Losco, Jones and Albas. These
bars often put your hands behind the steertube/steering axis. But, the same

slight differences in road handling, but the frame rode the

Hi Patrick,
This will all sound a little vague and I am likely not describing it
perfectly but here it goes:
To answer the question about how handling changes with shorter stem:
Personally I don't think it affects handling much *as long as it works
within the overall bike bike/rider system*.
For a traditional road bike, such a short stem might be strange but for a
more all-road or all-terrain style bike, I think the long TT / short stem
combo is great because it gets the front wheel further out in front of you
for better stability / less chance of endo, reduces or eliminates toe
How do such short stems affect the handling of the Atlantis? I use stems on
my Riv Roads that are short by conventional standards -- 8 cm, and I
absolutely insist on drop bars with sufficiently long ramps (but
short-hooded Shimano aero levers and not the very long brifter levers), and
insist on a
It is nice that stems and seatposts are now available to make so many
bike frames work for a variety of riders with the huge variety of
handlebars out there. I haven't done it yet but I'd like to try Drops
on my old 1989 Miyata MTB. Maybe I'll become a convert of longer top
tube shorter stem
Just to be clear, I am not advocating reversing stems, what I am getting at
is more along the lines of a 30-50mm stem vs. a 100-120mm stem.

There are benefits to one-size-fits all bicycles like Bromptons. I
suppose there are benefits to reversing your 8cm stem and running a
16cm longer top tube, but I think I prefer the benefits of a bike that
actually fits.

A few thoughts:
- Agree to keep the Hillborne as is. Keep cantis too. Just to have some
diversity in the line up.
- Short stem and drops: Personally I don't see it as "making it work".
There are even benefits to it: longer wheelbase is possible, less TCO or
similar TCO but with bigger tires

The newest MIT Atlantis models do seem to have gotten even longer than the

going a size too small, and having way more stem and seat post than I would be
happy with (short stem notwithstanding). I do hope the new

The MIT Atlantis are excellent for drop bars. It might take some rethinking on
what constitutes appropriate stem length though. There several advantages to
shorter stem with longer frame.
