I have a double digit bike stable, and it might be the most often ridden in that stable. And that includes the Hunqapillar, on which I travel city to city. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 8, 2017, at 4:18 PM, Carla Waugh wrote: > > Hello Sam owners I'm thinking about

I've had one since the first year they made them (2009?) and I still love it. It's been my commuter, errand runner, day ride, and trail bike. I've toured on it a bunch too (about 20 days total) and it was great for that. I've always had upright bars. It really is a great and versitile bike. --

I rode my Sam on 20 miles of trails and fire roads yesterday. Every other bike I saw was a suspended mountain bike. I was totally comfortable the entire time. I also ride it almost every day around town. It is my bike for everything but touring, and I've even considered that it would probably
