Thanks, Ted, That is helpful. What I'm learning is that not only does the Sam have the same effective geometry as my Gordon BLT, it also has the same frame weight. Your fork is a little lighter; mine was 970 g with the race installed; the frame (size 52, more like a 57 Sam) weighed just under 2700 without the bottom bracket.
Other than then not-so-pretty unicrown fork, there's really no reason to get a Sam over the Gordon for me, and I'll be playing with the setup of the BLT to make it Sam-like. If I get curious, maybe I'll get a fork, or in a year or two I'll have a different idea what Riv model I should own. One of these days I should get one, on general principle. I really appreciate that you remembered my request. cheers -mathias On Friday, June 21, 2024 at 6:27:19 PM UTC-4 Ted Durant wrote: > > On Jun 21, 2024, at 5:16 PM, Michael Connors <michael.ge...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Mine also had a bottom bracket installed > > > Good point - I should have clarified that I removed the bottom bracket > that came with it, so the weight I gave is without the BB. > > Ted Durant > Milwaukee WI USA > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
