I just saw this from the hiawatha blog but I thought I'd mention it.

I don't think it's a big stretch to say that bike looks a lot like an
orange sam.
gorgeous poster.
I have one of the ones from last year. Looks great on the wall.
Pretty Paramount and pretty daughter (grand daughter?).
How much for the Honjos?

I don't think that length would be a problem without an additional
stay. I've got a few fendered bikes, Honjo and Berthoud, and most
look about that length or slightly longer and they are pretty solid
without support. I did put some long Honjos on my Paramount

Thanks for all your input! I live in the bay area, so maybe I'll try to do a
test ride at RBW before I decide to bid.

I hope the no-updates to the Riv-site doesn't mean that there are no
bids yet. Is that like a quadruple negative?

I've eye-balled these fenders, too, since they've been listed on the
Riv web site with great curiosity. I like their length, the built-in
flaps, and the way the look in general, too, but a question I have is:
how stable will that additional extension on the front fender be
without something like a
That silver one is pretty nice, but probably will be beyond my
budget. Thomsons are great as you can find used ones out there
pretty reasonably ($50 range).

Hi!
To me it seems you're right at the spot where there's no clear winner
without considering various factors.
If you like high bars (say, 2-3cm or more above the saddle) and intend
to avoid truly rugged terrain, I'd say the 60cm would be the default
choice.
If you like lower-than-that bars or r

If you call that a lot of post then I guess I count as a 'crotch
worrier' :). I'm glad I chose the 56 because there's a tiny bit of
room between me and the top tube on the 56, and there was zero on the
60. When I rode them both, the 60 just felt like a massive creature,
kind of like ridin
Thanks for the input, William. In my book that's a lotta seat post & stem. Why
are you glad you chose the 56? Was the TT too long on the 60? If so what TT
length and stem extension do you normally prefer on a 'non-expanded' frame?

Go for it, nathan! I'm at PBH 87 and ride a 56 Sam. I rode the 60,
and I'm very glad I chose the 56. Here's a photo of my 56 Sam with a
SH of about 76.

It's beautiful. I'm tempted… but is a 56cm Sam too small for me? I'm 5'11", 88
PBH, SH usually around 77-78. Would that result in a lotta seatpost showing /
would a 60cm Sam fit me better?

Yeah, the 56 Sam's are kind of a mixed lot at the moment. Of the 56cm
Sams they have in stock now, they apparently have some that are Taiwan-
made, still are $1000, take caliper brakes, and have a single top
tube. They also have some that are Waterford made, that run

Agreed... Nice color. Double top tube on a 56cm?

A Riv leasing program would be great but probably very very
impractical for RBW but not for us...

Maybe Riv needs to offer a "perpetual" financing plan with automatic
monthly payroll deductions, where at some point one receives
electronic notification stating "Your N

That's pretty funny Ray. I've been in a similar spot since selling my
Rambouillet frame. Part of me just wishes I had pulled the trigger on
a new frame back in Dec when I sold the Ram. Instead I've been saving
up more and going back and forth between various bikes--Hunqa, SH, Big
Dummy, LHT, Troll
I experienced the negative to saving for a bike this past winter. I
had money all saved and was one phone call away from ordering a
hunqapillar frame when my wife and I started preparing for another
Maine wintah. While lowering the storm windows they literally came
apart in our hands. Well-you gue
