Brian, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours - the Sam appears to lend itself to such a wide variety of builds. I was aiming toward a fire road biased all-rounder. I'm eager to discover how it performs in that mode.
Billies are great bars - I love the pair on my Platypus. I'm hoping the VO post will give me enough set back with the Berthoud. It's such a comfortable saddle, but I've struggled with it on several bikes due to its short rails.
