I wouldn't call randonneur bikes "country bikes" if the Sam Hillson is a
country bike: the former are much more roadlike, if my categorization is
correct. OTOH, bikes like the Fargo split the difference between a mountain
bike and a bike like the Sam Hill: they are more biased toward dirt but
ride decently with fattish road tires.

('99 Joe built custom) after six months of leaving it hanging on my garage
wall -- damn' fast!
