Carla, I'm a bit late with a reply, but I have had two Sam Hillbornes. The first was a double TT 56cm, 2010 vintage - a tad bit too large for me. I used it for rough touring and was satisfied. But, I sold it and bought the beautiful black & cream 55 cm single TT and moved all components - including the 100mm stem and mustache bars - and added low rider racks up front. I love it! Still my touring / commuter. I'm 5'11" and weight about 165-170 lbs. By the way, the workmanship and paint was much improved on the 2015 model. The slight price bump between the two was well worth it for the cleaner appearance! Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecrazy-paul/albums/72157656598945451
