Hey all, first time posting here. I'm planning on grabbing a Sam Hillborne
frameset when they go on sale this month. It'll be my first Rivendell. I
decided on the Hillborne as a replacement for my 56cm Cross Check, which
has never been comfortable for me. The short headtube puts the bars too far
Lol! The force is strong with this one. Link doesn’t work though

I'm about to buy a new(or used) Sam Hillborne.
My only concern is sizing.
Is a 56cm too large or should I drop down a size. PBH is 54.

photos. I took it on a nice and easy Sunday morning trail ride and I
absolutely love it. It has a Sugino wide/low double, Brooks B-17, thin
gripsters, Albatross bars and IRD thumb shifters. Jared at Rivendell was a

now that is a sweet bike!Ive always wondered about the 1x9 drivetrain.
Does it put any stress on the chain to move that laterally across the

Yes, I sold my original Hillborne last summer after becoming dissatisfied

Here is the new bicycle as I have it set up now..some older parts,
some newer.great ride! Everything went together without a problem
and didn't even have to switch so much as a cable
Just finished taking the newer parts off my old 1980's Raleigh frame
and transferring them to my new Sam Hillborne in order to be able to
ride it before going to bed. My first limited impression is that it is
comfortable and it feels lighter than my Surly Trucker. I like the
handling, it seems very
Poking around Riv site and saw they have the new colored Sams for pre-
sale for an incredible deal at $1050.00! Damn wish it wasnt time to
