I dont know if it should be, but it actually was a deal breaker for me. I ordered my bike in April and when I called it was my intention to get a 56 Sam. I had it all speced out and when I was told that they were going to have double top tubes, coupled with the fact that they would not take canti brakes anymore, it stopped me in my tracks and by the time I hung up the phone I had ordered an A Homer Hilsen. I was struggling with the choice between the 2 bikes anyway. I dont mind sidepulls but the canti's helped me choose the Sam. That alone would not have changed my mind but the undertube just turned me off to it. Maybe that feeling was unjustified. The thousand dollar savings would have allowed me a fancier build. Had I taken more time to think it through I may have ordered the Sam anyway but I didnt, and I am sure I wont regret the AHH. I sure cant wait for it to arrive.
