Guys, I have a good problem to have. I'm in the process of deciding between an Appaloosa and a Sam Hillborne. I'd very much appreciate your input; particularly from folks who are familiar with both of these bikes. 90%+ of my riding is on pavement. The rest is light trail riding over occasionally bumpy terrain. I am planning on some longer touring, specifically doing the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal this Spring. I will likely do this with a mix of camping and B&B stays. I am an older guy (pushing seventy). Comfort is definitely a consideration. In reading previous posts I have noted that some feel what they describe as a sense of ease on the Appaloosa. That sounds appealing. For those who share that perception could you characterize that more fully? I also understand that the Sam is a more "spritely" ride. For those who have ridden both bikes how would you describe what distinguishes the two? Are these differences relatively subtle or easily noticeable? I hope that the above makes sense. I am more than happy to provide additional info. Unfortunately at present there are no Rivendell dealers in my region nor have I yet to see a Riv in the wild in my neck of the woods. Thanks, Marc
