That said, the Space Horse is a stellar bike that has made me happy over many miles over various distances and terrain. It rides well unloaded and under load, and forgives long days under a exuberant or tired rider. It's a great bike, but it's lacking that Sam Hillborne magic, that you would never accuse it of lacking, if you'd not synced up with a Sam like I did. I've no regrets, but I'd also happily test a disc-braked Sam if it ever came into existence. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
