Elegant, all the way around. And I'm sure all would agree with what you say
about bars; I'm going to install cable splitters so that I can experiment
all the more easily. Or just change the Sam's personality, as you say.

Beautiful bloo build. I'm going to try Albas on mine (double top tube,
however) and install cable splitters, as I have now a set of Noodles to
switch out (and the Moustache on an XO-1). A couple of sets of tires, and
these two bikes will give me various rides. Here's for the weather for you
I've been alerted to a clean-looking Heron (59 cm ST) on the auction site;
I'll watch closely, and thought others might be interested.

What a badge! Yeah, I am watching this auction, and hoping for a
financially reasonable outcome; the purchase isn't what I might call
"necessary," as I am committed to a Sam build already with Riv! But if
this Heron is a good deal . . . .

And don't forget the easy-on-the-eyes grey-blue of the Sam Hillborne

can live with for a long time; there must be some neuroscience behind all
this.

The "shoe" side of SPDs offers a nice platform, and the dual-use design is
appealing; plus, the darn things just look good. I don't know whether I'll
clip in again any time soon, all the same. The MKS touring pedals are
classics, I agree; weirdly (I admit), I've been looking at MKS folding
pedals

Happy purchaser here; the seller worked with me nicely on the price when I
asked him to reconsider, and he looked again at the recent eBay Legolas
sale so, after all, no huge mark-up from the previous sale, and a pretty

As for selling a Rivendell, search "regret" in these conversations! As each
