I'm of the the perfect number is N+1 crowd. I suspect you'll love your Sam. I don't own one (yet) myself, making do with a lovely Quickbeam I took delivery of last December. Currently besides the QB I've got a Bike Friday folder (which got to visit Rivendell last year when I was on the mainland), a single speed conversion of an old steel framed ATB (yep, it's an ATB not an MTB!), and a Giant hybrid which may become an Xtracycle. I'm thinking Bombadil for the next addition, though 5 bikes in a small apartment is beginning to push it. > Me, I'm an aging bike geek from Seattle. Glad to be here. > Stick around! And please send photos of the Sam. Folks around here (me included) love to see the whole enchilada...assuming your Sam is coming from Riv, take pictures of the box, the unpacking (you'll be amazed at how well Riv packs bikes), the build, and some good old bike porn once it's all together.
