Oh, my goodness. As a person with too many bikes and a preconceived notion that all real bikes should have a level top tube, my green 650B Sam is the first one I pull out of the bike room each day. This is not a casual decision. I've got some serious bike choices. It has, in a few short months, become my daily commuter bike and because of a couple of S24O's and a three-day mini-tour through Arizona back-road cowboy country, my preferred camping bike. I have nothing more steady on a steep incline or dirt road, yet soft and cushy for my urban travels.
I thank my wife for making the decision that the Hillborne frame I bought for her didn't fit. She's happy with her Bleriot.
