Seconded on Ian's suggestion. Even by frugal working stiff standards, only one

I just saw on Instagram that Gravel and Grind has Roadini frames for 20% off.
Pretty great deal. Beautiful bike!
I wasn’t going to put fenders on a Rambouillet but then it was too much fun not
to ride in the rain.

In my opinion, the Nitto 27f is absolutely ideal for this application. The only
thing better would be a custom rack with similar functionality.

I was just at the Woody's Fenders site the other day and they seem to come in
one stock width unless you custom order. They show up on a lot of 700c-wheeled
fixies so I think the stock size will be ok with your tires.

I would personally say, that if you like the Sam, keep it and leave it exactly
as it is. Too many people regret selling a bike, only to find they miss it and
can't easily replace it. And two bikes is a good number, especially if you
commute or otherwise rely on a bicycle.
You're likely to lose

I trust in Grant, but my favorite Rivendell bikes, at least on paper, are the
most svelte. I hope the Sam doesn’t get too beefed out. (Rather, I hope if he
designs a beefed-out Sam, it’s a 26” wheeled Sam! I’d be all over that one.)

I’ve used the big front, Nitto 27f and a pass/Stow 3 bar. All are good, though

Downsides:

using them

Maybe consider a 3-spd internal at some point? Sounds like you have the

As Philip said, you don't shift as with a usual multiple gear system, but
only for hills long enough to make it worthwhile. Personally, I use the
bigger of the 2 cogs very rarely, but when I do, they're useful -- eg, one
ride involves a ~ 3-4 mile climb; another a 5-6 mile climb; those make
