Grant's been talking about the double top tube Sam for a while. I don't think you'll have a problem of it blurring the lines with a bombadil--it'll still be made out of lighter tubing, and still have country bike clearances and geometry. They might look similar, but in the grand scheme of things, rivendells have never been diverse in their aesthetics, have they?
The idea of a double-top tube Sam is growing on me, for sure. I think i've been watching too much of those videos with the Hunqa-protos, but the truth is the clearances and stoutness of the hunqa or bomba would be overkill for the type of riding i do. A DTT sam would be perfect, though. Especially if it's waterford made. On May 3, 6:01 pm, eflayer <eddie.fla...@att.net> wrote: > just posted to the Riv site. > > Waterford is building Hillbornes?
