Sorry I'm late to this, and I see they've been mentioned, but, to
reiterate, if RBW doesn't have what you want... the last time I was in
there a week or so ago, Mountain Sports Limited had a green 56 F/F with a
single top-tube, hanging up on the floor.
Best,

I am ~ 5'10" with 84.5 PBH and have a 56 Sam. The 56 is a great fit
for me. I think 84 is on the cusp of 52/56 sizing but bigger is better
than smaller as you can dial things in with stem, bars and saddle
height.
Right now I have the bike built up with 46cm Noodle bars and 8cm
Technomic stem. That
Mike, If you can't find a single TT Sam in your size, I suggest you widen
your search to include other previous models, esp. the Bleriot (disclaimer,
I bought a Bleriot f/f last year). I mention the Bleriot specifically
because it will serve your stated purposes (rackable, fenderable, etc like
Thanks everyone for the help!
I've sent an email to countrybike and will see what they've got. I'm
also going to try and get in touch with Rivendell - from the website,
it's unclear to me if the 56cm has a double TT or not.
A few of you have suggested looking at different models - the

What exactly is the reason for the second tt on such a small size as a 56?
Is it just for looks?

My impression is that 2TT vs 1TT is almost as divisive as low trail vs high
trail. I like both. If I were looking for a 1TT 56 Sam I might call around
to bike shops that are known to stock Rivs. Search the forum archive, or
there might be a list on the Riv site. Also, try call Riv HQ. They're al
Same thing happened to me this summer. I got as far as putting the
order in for a new Sam and ended up cancelling it when I found out
about the extra tube. I called around everywhere to find a shop that
still had the single top tube Sam, but the few that did would only
sell it as a complete bike, b
You might want to check with country bikes they still have a few Sam's
with a single top tube www.countrybikeshop.com/ or Mountain sports Ltd
mountainsportsltd.com/ in Bristol.
I have a 56 Sam and love it...You are making the right choice..

Double top tubes have good meritsI for one, would like one and
love the unique look and practical benefits. Almost wish my SimpleOne

make a really nice 10 o
Have you looked at the Soma San Marcos, the 54cm does not have the 2TT but
I believe the geometry is similar to the 56cm but not sure.

I believe you can order the Waterford version without the second top
tube, but the price goes up. I have one of the first run green Sams
in a 56 and I totally agree with you on the double top tube. You will
find plenty of folks in this forum who are thrilled with their 2TT
bikes and agree with th
