A sam would be perfect for this kind of riding. If you were riding more
trails and possibly singletrack dirt-type stuff I would opt for a Hunq, or
if you were thinking of doing some extended touring I would opt for the
Atlantis or Hunq, but for the stuff you are talking about the Sam is
Sam can do it all, and would be the least expensive choice. A Hilsen would
be fancier, but functionally the same as the Sam. The Atlantis and the
Hunq would also be great, too, especially if you were always going to do
lots of loaded mileage or tons of non-technical singletrack.
I have a

I love my Sam. He is a competent horse that, well balanced, can carry
stuff. Takes some talking with Jared to get it right, but it can be right.
I have a fast as my carbon fiber road bike Boulder All Road Randonneur
that I love riding, but Sam is my goto bike
Michael,
I would also chime in in favor of the Hillborne. I owned a Bianchi road
bike and a SOMA hardtail mtb when I was recently lucky enough to pick up a
used, orange 56 Sam. I had been test riding the bikes at Rivendell looking
for a commuter/all-arounder. All rode great but I was
To expand on Michael's question a bit...
One probably can't argue that a Sam is a very versatile bike. But I, like
Michael, am considered a Clydesdale in the biking world. In describing
the Sam, Grant said it is enough like a Homer that he can't tell the
difference between the two once upon
Michael,
The Sam Hillborne is a super capable bike able to take you to the grocery
store (though I'd be super paranoid to leave it locked up outside for very
long) and do 25, 50, even 100 milers and take you there on almost any
surface with aplomb. Though you may want to go with the largest

I agree with the others, the Sam H. will be fine for your needs. The beauty
