Not that this is thread drift or anything...
My Ram has 62.3mm of trail, the Saluki had 61.5. Both intended for no more
than a light front bag like a L'il Loafer. They track around curvy descents
like they are on rails. Love it.
My Road has 53.8mm of trail and the Waterford 1100 I used to pedal

I have my Luxos U mounted on the front of a Mark's Rack on my Hilsen. I love
it. There's no wheel shadow to deal with like when I had it on the fork crown.
I assume mounting on the side of the rack would cast quite a shadow as well.
Handlebar mounting would probably do the same but I like to
Agreed. Riv won't be making a low trail rando bike - and I'd doubt they'd
do that even as a custom. There are plenty of builders available to make
those types of bikes though.

I think the Sam will be back, as the Appaloosa and Clem are both niche
bikes. Mr. Hillborne strikes me as the Standard Riv which all others kind
of branch off. If you remember motorcycles back in the '80s, we had the
Standard, which was a basic do-everything bike you just called a
motorcycle;

entertaining elements of this company. In my mind it also highlights the
Atlantis for its relatively
I'm calling the non-drive side of the bike the USA side.
I don't think there is a right or wrong side to install a light, though.
Just personal preference.

That sounds like an awesome bike. For my information, what is the USA
side of the front rack for light mounting? Is one side or the other more
traditional?
This question was bandied about a couple weeks ago, and I thought it came
down to personal preference.
Personally, I set up two bikes with
Spot on, Jim. The long reach brake changed everything.
I'm *still* looking for one of those centerpull'd Salukis.

What Lungimsam said. It would also make an excellent rando bike,
which is 50% of my usage, the other 50% being recreational rides.
About the comment about the USA side...some USA riders install their
dyno lights on the right side even though they have the option to
install on the left. I guess
Does the Rivendell model accommodate low trail? I rather hope Riv doesn't
jump on the low trail bandwagon, and that they keep their signature
handling -- though, to the extent that they push Wald baskets and big front
racks, they may well be tending in that direction.
Glad I got my customs when I
I am calling it the USA side because it puts the light in the travel lane when
riding on the shoulder or near the fog line in the USA.
Any mounting position that works to ones taste is the correct mounting position
of course.

I think this low trail vs high trail issue is overly philosophized.
When I was delivering newspapers, years ago, I needed a bike designed for
40 pound front loads. Worksman makes them.
If I did 200K randoneurring, like Jan Heine, I'd want a very fast bike that
carried 8 pounds of stuff in
last ones ?
I think not ! For example , the 64cm. Sams are built by Waterford to
order . Yes, they cost more , $2k I believe but so what . If these
can be made in a 64 to order, then I see no reason why if at any time any
size can also be made by them for the same price if someone
The blug says last batch for a while, then goes on to say they
need to make room for the Clems. So they don't plan to retire Sam but my
guess is that if you want one in the immediate future now's the time to
jump on it. Sam Clem are relatively affordable compared to an Atlantis
or
Um I think you have just described the Rodeo

One of my bikes is a lovely custom Franklin sport/touring frame from
1999 , made with Reynolds 531 ST(super tourist) , which is slightly heavier
than the C , competition . I had it made intending it as a road bike and
used it like that for many years . A few years ago I changed the setup

As great as the Ram is, and as great as it was in the Riv lineup, it sort of
lost some of its unique mission when the Silver brake and the AHH came along -

interchangeable, but my point is that a lot of factors go into these
