You can do almost anything on a Sam Hillborne. It does all pavement riding
well. And the dirt tire capability is impressive. Bruce Gordon Rock and Roads
fit easily.
The Atlantis is a better all-rounder, but for me, it isn't $1000 better unless
I absolutely have to have the extra tire
I've had my Atlantis since '03 ridden it as my primary bike. It's been
on tours, off-road, mostly noodling around the town, etc. I love it how
well it handles everything I like to do. However, last summer I test rode
several bikes at RBWHQ (not bike shopping, just trying different
I test rode a Sam at the Hatchet shop last year, great experience,
extremely neutral ride. If I was blindfolded (and somehow managed to stay
upright) I'd be unable to tell the difference from a Homer/Saluki similarly
equipped.
On the weight limits... I'm also 250 lbs and did a 3 day GAP trip
Some thoughts from the group please? I have my wifes Riv ordered and hope
to place the order for mine soon. I am 6' 235 pds 35' PBH,and will use my
bike for quick 4 mile trips to town, 35 mile rides to family visits in the
next county,and (hopefully) at some point a trip across the State of Tn.
If you are near Nashville, I'd be happy to let you ride my 60cm single tt Sam.
You can email me at dweendaddy at hotmail
I didn't buy one until I rode one, but so many others have.
