Hi all -
I have a Sam Hillborne, of the earlier orange cantilever brake
variety. In very good condition cosmetically with less than 200 miles
on a professional build composed of almost all new parts.
Build details below.

Oh no... it can be set to give a nice view to the side, not straight back,

In a conversation with Grant a few years ago, I mentioned trying that with my
56 Atlantis. He very quickly and assertively said "don't do that".
Just sayin'...

What was his reason?
Is the 56 normally a 559-wheeled bike? If that is the case, I also
don't see the point unless you want to run narrower road tires and
maintain more or less the same wheel diameter.

I actually do want to run narrower (40-44) tires and have a
more aesthetically pleasing wheel profile while doing so. Can't get
fenders to fit right, without a lot of extra fabrication and spacer work,
with tires less than 50mm wide.
