Took the wife and our bikes on a short trip this weekend. Went to
Wisconsin to ride, eat, and relax. Had been on these trails a couple
of months ago, but with a different bike. This time, took the
Hillborne. After some misgivings, realized the bike could handle
these trails just fine. About pe

I bought this thinking it might like my butt more than the standard

Hadn't noticed, but it would make the newer Hillborne bikes easier to
mount a frame bag, such as the Revelate Designs Tangle with a lower
bottle mount.
Yes, the fork crown is different now. I have an early Hillborne and
the design is different. I like mine, but if I had the newer, I'd

The pictures look great. I take a ton of pictures because I feel some

Very lovely looking build,one of the few Sam's I have seen built up as
a "go fast" bike and it looks like it could go snap off a 20 mph club

That wasn't my thread. I always planned on bringing the tent. I just
about always prefer being in a tent, and am not an ounce-squeezer when
I camp. I actually brought both a tent and a bivy sack. I gave Doug
the Bivy sack. He had planned sleeping in the open air. There were

So, did you bring your tent on your camping trip? If you did, were
you glad that brought it, or was it extraneous and not needed. Just
curious, after your previous posts requesting input on the need to
carry a tent for an S24O.

I agree. Seems like the placement of the bottle cage bosses need not
be so low on a 60cm. Especially so low that they overlap the derailer

I posted some of the pictures I took. I did a poor job of taking

For every frame
Agreed Peter, having the FD mount between the bosses does seem like a
design flaw, on any size frame. I suppose you could use spacers to hop
over the derailleur clamp. It'll be tough to reach down that far to
grab the bottle while riding. Why not have it higher? Something I'm
missing?

If the jockey wheel is hitting the cog it's too close. Shortening the
chain is IMO the main way of rotating the cage so the jockey wheel
position os farther from the cog. Then you have to see if operation
over the rest of the range is acceptable. If it's not, you might need
a different dérailleur.

As far as I can tell the "decorative" elements of the lugs are a bit

And, much to my chagrin, the water bottle bosses on the seat tube are

Kind of ridiculous for a 60cm frame.

Jim, I checked the RD travel with no chain on, and it hits the 28t cog
despite the B screw all the way in, at the highest tension.
I'm not sure what value the Park Tool idea is though, as on my road
bike, the XT RD will hit the 32t cog with the chain off, but with the
chain on it's not too close,
Beautiful work. The Hillborne and Ultegra headset look just fine
together.
