I had a first edition Sam, all green with no cream or white, pre-double-top-tubes, and with cantilever brakes. Orange and sidepulls obviously came afterward.
Why did Rivendell start using calipers on the Sam? Cantilevers are a natural for this, for wider tires and fender clearance, especially as (I think) the later designs accommodated wider tires than the first ones.
