[RBW] Re: Many nice Sam Hillbornes lately

the quoted clearance with the new canti sams is 47mm. i think the wtb riddler might be the perfect tire for this bike. i have a new one in sage & 58 which has been a blast and the perfect commuter. i have learned what the OP has said about straddling niches is slightly true. it's not as

Hey John, I just bought a 58cm SH and I am 5'-9" with 87.5 PBH. I have very long legs for my height, so I figured I could fit the bigger size and I was right.

a week ago today i left work an hour early, rode my skateboard to bart to walnut creek, skated to HQ from bart, and picked up a new 58cm canti sam in sage. i spent that night building the bike with parts bin parts and parts stolen from other bikes in order to ride it on the boyzonthehoods

[RBW] Re: Bullmoose vs. Choco-moose

"singletrack mountain bike trails with very little road riding going on, so quick handling, secure gripping, and easy turning is a plus" based on this quote from the op i'd 100% go regular bullmoose. when you ride super swept back bars, you give up control for comfort IMO. I have had the

[RBW] Re: Clem L Sizing for Wife with 87.5 PBH

I have an 87.5 pbh exactly and I would go with the 59. Less exposed seatpost, a more elegant look IMHO, and no worries that standover will be a problem. On the blug post a few weeks back, my green 60cm cheviot with cream tires might give you an idea of the fit it could look like. On Saturday,

[RBW] Re: New Roadini or hang on to Sam

I kind of just suffered in making the same decision. I was all set to buy a roadini and the second I saw the new sage Sams on the instagram, I changed my mind. I wanted a fast road-ish bike, but the new Sam looked so good and the reality is I always end up riding dirt. Figured the Sam would be

[RBW] Re: My trials and tribulations with upright bars

Hey Dave, I have gone through a similar process. I wanted to get what everyone else got with albatross. I found that I liked a bosco bar for riding two blocks to the grocery or bar, but not for "real" rides, and not on my nicer bikes. I bought a Cheviot because I wanted the full upright, true
