Re: [RBW] 2014 Side Pull Sam Questions

[James Warren]

Ben,

I'd have to do some research to answer all of your questions, but first I'd
like to point out that my Sam is a 62 cm from 2014, and it just might be
bicycle perfection. I hope you enjoy yours, and I really think you will.

I do recall that circa 2013-14, some Sams were painted single-color, some
of which were greyish blue and then later sage. I thought they looked
pretty good. I seem to recall your single-color sage looked great.

Enjoy!
-Jimmy

[RBW] 2014 Side Pull Sam Questions

[Ben Mihovk]

Good morning!
I have purchased (and am picking up after work today) a 62cm Sage Green Sam 
and I am really excited about it! I used the Wayback Machine to double 
check what Riv would have sized me in (seller bought at the end of 2013) 
and I've read Grant's "Reintroduction of Sam Hillborne" a thousand times. 
I've done a BOAT LOAD of web searches and dug through this group and there 
are two things I can't seem to find out...

1. Why might the head tubes not be painted cream on some of the sage green 
bikes? The pictures I keep seeing seem to only picture the 62cm Sage 
without a cream head tube. The bike I purchased is the same (which made me 
think the bike was older than stated until I found those pictures). 

2. Does the geometry I'm seeing for the 2017 Sams line up with where they 
were in late 2013-14? I'm 100% positive that I got the right size, just 
curious to poke around on Bike Insights. 

If you know more about either question, I'd appreciate anything you have to 
add!

Thanks!
