Joel, I’ve not verified this with the Riv folks but the weight difference between the two seems like it would be in the tubing. My Homer and Sam have identical setups but Homer is two pounds lighter (says a bathroom scale). It also feels a touch lighter just lifting it and ditto for the ride.
>From the last Riv catalog: “Sam is a hair stouter, so we give it more burly points than Homer, but the Sam and Homer are 95 percent functional clones. . .” Also this: “If you want speed on the road with versatility to tour or ride dirt now and then, the A. Homer Hilsen is ideal.” Hope this info helps with your decision. Pics or any other questions feel free to ask.
