Hi all - I have a Sam Hillborne, of the earlier orange cantilever brake variety. In very good condition cosmetically with less than 200 miles on a professional build composed of almost all new parts.
Build details below. More photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75431624@N03/sets/72157629444619317/ I am in Seattle and would love to sell local. Otherwise we'll figure out packing and shipping. It's a great ride but just not my thing. I've been riding an RB-1 for years and while the ride was absolutely a blast, I finally tired of the limited tire clearance and ugly hacks rqruired to make fenders work. I swung too far here though, and want to get back to something more sporty. On the off chance anyone wants to trade a Roadeo or similar, I might be game... Anyway, more: To replicate this build would cost ~$2225 before taxes and misc. small parts - and that's not including a rear der. or crankset - I didn't price those out since they are vintage, but figure another $200 for new equipment there and you're pushing $2500. Also, if you like the orange, like cantilever brakes, and don't want a second top tube, this is the way to go. Full disclosure: I am the second owner of this frame (bought used because I wanted canti's and no second top tube). there are small paint chips here and there - not very many. The worst offender is pictured on the seat stay and is the result of a bag hupe (http:// www.rivbike.com/product-p/r9.htm). The headset has some marring on the lock nut, and the front brake barrel adjuster also has some marring. Overall though, this is very minor stuff - frame and components all in very good condition mechanically and cosmetically.
