Hello Riv Friends, Not long ago I posted about possibly replacing my Sam with a Roadini. I had switched my existing Sam to an upright touring rig but missed riding my drop bar bike. I ended up buying a new Appaloosa to be my touring/camping bike and I rebuilt my Sam into a sporty road bike. We had a rare break in the winter weather so yesterday I took it out for a 15 mile ride. It was glorious! As I was riding I was thinking about Deacon Patrick's advice of having gratitude for what I already own. Of course his words were much more eloquent then that but the basic premise of his message was the same. I am so thankful I listened to DP because the Sam is just about the perfect bike for going out on my version of a fast road ride.
