I really don't know when Riv went to the "Silver tubes". I wish I could answer your question.
I purchased my Sam without ever seeing this. The decision was based on conversation with Jared about how we would build it. It's been a bit over a year since the May 2013 and I am very happy with Sam. I do want to thank you for the link to the brochure. It is a keeper. ~Tom On Tuesday, July 15, 2014 9:59:47 AM UTC-7, RJM wrote: > > I noticed the brochure for the Sam posted on the Blug today and took a > gander.
