Correct me if I'm mistaken ( I'm new here) but I just read Grant's Blug and it says he has single color Sams and he will be getting blue/ cream Sams in Sept.??? On Saturday, August 2, 2014 3:50:04 PM UTC-6, Fullylugged wrote: > > Grant notes in the blug that Sam is going on leave for a couple of

Humm...AHH over a Hillborne? Can't fault you as I have a Hilsen. Fact is they ride equally well. I went for the Hilsen purely for esthetics. And yet what Rivendell has done with the Hillborne in terms of various builds is fantastic. Initially, I didn't like the Dbl top tube but now I think it's aw

I was happy to read Grant's post, tho for selfish reasons! Maybe with a lack of Sams I'll be able to sell mine for a little bit more than I could now. And then I could justify buying a AHH! Why do I want an AHH when I have a SH? *sigh* Maybe for the same reason Cecily was tempted to go for a Sa

When I got that email, it took all I had not to place an order. But then I thought "Why? Whatever Sam can do, Betty can do just as well." But I was *really, really* tempted. On Saturday, August 2, 2014 2:50:04 PM UTC-7, Fullylugged wrote: > > Grant notes in the blug that Sam is going on leave

I cannot see Riv shelving the Sam without something to replace it's relative place in their frame offerings . I for one have been waiting for this day , as the Sam's dimensions were never never exactly what I wanted . If this be the Clem or something else who knows as of yet, but when i

Yeah, products that support only quantities this small don't seem to have the "economic inertia" necessary to survive various external forces. Or perhaps Grant simply wants to play with a new head badge design (running the show should have some perks). Well, I'm glad I have two virtually identi

Many have lamented selling a Rivendell, or dithering when a particular model was being phased out. I've yet to see a post by anyone claiming "glad I sold that bike when I did". Past performance is no guarantee of future results but if you want a Hillborne, now's the time. The risk is whether

You ain't kidding about certain Rivs dropping out of sight. I sold my Romulus during an impetuous detour to recumbents some years ago, and have long regretted that decision. They *never *come up for sale. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA. On Saturday, August 2, 2014 2:50:04 PM UTC-7, Fullylugged wrote:
