can we say Grant is a marketing expert? And he creates fine bikes and he is not afraid to throw the noodles against the wall and see what sticks? 650B and double top tubes fit in there somewhere. To me the single sloping top tube, lugged Sam is the cat's pajamas...whatever that means.
Richard Schwinn has been selling the lugged sloping top tube Adventure Cycle at Waterford for many years. It costs a big bundle with the Waterford name on it. I wanted one forever. Then came the Sam. I went for tigged Gunnar Sport with custom threaded Waterford fork. That fits my needs perfectly. But the orange Sam is about as good as it gets.
