In addition to any structural issues, that 6 degree slope makes it possible to fit a lot of different folks with just the four sizes. At least that's what I took away from the description of the 56 set up to accomodate someone who could ride a 63 AHH.
But what I like about Sam is all the well-thought out braze-ons that make it such a mutable and adaptable creature for differing applications: touring, off-road, or just the wee rack up front. And the green. The green looks fantastic. On Jan 7, 8:02 am, Will <wpm...@gmail.com> wrote: > It's interesting that the Sam "frame design is 'expanded,' which is > not at all like 'compact.'
