One of the few Rivs I've never owned or tried is Sam Hillborne. Its direct predecessor was the Bleriot, which was the first Taiwan version of the Toyo/MUSA Saluki/AHH. I've owned all of those, they all had road calipers and I consider them road/country bikes.
BUT, Sam has come at various times with calipers or cantis/v-brakes, and in different ST-to-TT configurations. So why am I even trying to answer this if I haven't ridden any of them? For background, yon Rivsters. I consider the Cheviot in the group of road/country bikes I've owned, and they have a relationship to at least the road caliper version of the Hillborne, the MIT bike which replaced the Bleriot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
