Oh I have called Riv a few times just to pester them with a million questions and never had anyone ask me to buy something or made me feel like I was wasting thier time. They are all really awesome guys. The issue is that in the NYC area it is hard to find anyone who owns a Rivendell to give it a test ride let alone a dealer to get to up close and personal. I know Harris has some models but again that is a bit of a Trek (4 hours in the car) for me from Brooklyn and since I have been blissfully car free since 2004 I would have to bum a ride from somebody which I hate having to do. I just would hate buying something and then deciding its just not for me but realize I have to pull the trigger on something. I wish someone had a 52cm Sam for sale so I could see if it was indeed too small, at 84ish PBH I fall right in that middle ground of alot of riv bikes but have never had the chance to actually ride one to see on what side of the divide I fall. I might just wind up buying the 56cm Sam to see how it fits since it is the cheapest option and sell it this summer to pick up the Atlantis. Losing a couple hundred on the Sam will hurt less than losing over 500 on the Atlantis if I decide to sell. Again if anyone has a 52cm Sam to sell I would pick that up too, doesnt matter what color/brakes/etc.
