That is true. Thanks for sharing! We should all be careful, as we are
likely in the minority with being extra safe.

This morning, I overtook a guy and thought I may have been too abrupt or
that he was trying to draft behind me.
I moved my eye up and to the left to check my rear view mirror.
I didn't see anything at first.
Then I remembered I didn't have my helmet on, and that I was actually
walking.

Hi James,
So, I rode my Sam H to work today (a VERY short ride) and used the drops
the whole time.
Then I read your post, and checked my actual saddle to drop height. Turns
out, my Noodle drops ARE below my saddle height but the tops are ABOVE
saddle height. Oops!

The challenge is making sure you are NOT building the same bike again. I

that both have the same cockpit, same saddle, even the same wheelset.

Nice bike/build. I like how flared the handlebars are, and the subtle color
touches on the Paul brakes. As a proud Sam H owner myself, I know how
versatile they can be.
I, too, started with handlebars 2 inches above my saddle. Then, on Rivelo's

Glad you at least have the legs for a SS, no matter what chainring you use.
I had one years ago, albeit a hardtail, but my legs were not made for it.

Hi Deacon Patrick,
Appreciate the list and write-up.
You are an inspiration to actively stripping down to what is essential. I

Wonderful build. Like many here, I am a Sam owner myself. I will second the

Mark in Beacon,
What is ROOR?
I googled it, and this is what I saw: "*RooR* is a Frankenthal-based
company that produces high-end borosilicate jointed-glass bongs. It was
founded 1995 by Martin Birzle, a German glass-blower.
Don't think that's what you meant.

I was in your situation last October. I wanted an AHH, but knew about the
