Sean: I think a Sam would be a great choice for your needs. I'm of similar mind and size: 46 years, 6'1" with a 88 pbh. I ride a 60 Sam. Its a little tight when standing over it but i dont do that much. When I'm in the saddle its the most comfortable bike I've ever had. Right now I've got it set up pretty light and fast. No fenders or racks. Just my brand v saddle bag. Clamp on downtube shifters and Specialized Infinity 38 tires. Going with Kojaks (35s) when it gets more summery. I've had it built up heavy too. It's such a great platform. I love experimenting with it. There's so many ways to set it up. I'm so enthralled with my orange, single tt, canti braked version that I went ahead and signed on for the new bleu 2tt, side pull. I'm looking forward to the ease of use and set up of the side pull brakes and at my size the second top tube can't hurt. All that PLUS the fancy paint? I like the way Grant and Riv do things. It's a great deal. I would think that if you get one it will become your favorite. It can be your go fast and everything your other bikes do too!
