I'd like to hear from others on what BB and crank you are using on your new
Sam. The BB that comes with it is a Shimano 110mm. I installed a Phil 113mm
and found that my White Industries crank (VBC, 44/32) is a no-go. The inner
ring bolts hit the chain stay well before the crank is tightened. It
Gorgeous Brent! Thanks for sharing. (I reluctantly opted out of this round
since I already have a 2017 Sam, but I was mighty tempted!)

Thanks, Ted,
That is helpful.
What I'm learning is that not only does the Sam have the same effective
geometry as my Gordon BLT, it also has the same frame weight. Your fork is
a little lighter; mine was 970 g with the race installed; the frame (size
52, more like a 57 Sam) weighed just unde

Good point - I should have clarified that I removed the bottom bracket that
came with it, so the weight I gave is without the BB.

On the other hand, a roll top is a very good method for keeping the

They are great to have on any bike.
