What size were each frame? And how much do you weigh, and did you carry a
lot of gear or minimal gear? Thanks for your input. I have an opportunity
to buy either one of the exact models you’re discussing, and I’d consider
the 2018/2019 Hilsen if I thought it was genuinely lighter duty than the
For the time period you're discussing I believe the Homer was the
almost-flat-toptube Waterford model. That's a very nice (and expensive)
road frame I owned once and deeply regret selling. I can't compare to a Sam
but I can say if you find a Waterford or Toyo Homer in your size, buy it
Sorry if this double posts...I typed out my reply and then...nothing!
Effectively, according to Riv's 2018 catalogue, Sam and Homer are 95% the
same bike, but Sam is stouter and burlier. I'm guessing it's a tubing
difference and the fact that most Sams have canti posts that can take a
stronger
Don't know if you guys are looking for something for a canti bike but Velo
Orange has these on sale. I put one on my Sam. Nice rack.

I purchased this frame back in Jan 2021. I'd say it has less than 50 miles
on it and has been sitting in the basement mostly unridden. I had it
assembled at a local rei w/ mostly spare parts lying
Has anyone has extensive experience riding both models, particularly the
ones made in the 2015-2018 time period, and had an opportunity to see how
they rode differently and handled different terrain? I am very interested
in these models but they have changed in some ways over the years and I am
I'm running 36h 650b Cliffhangers with 57mm G-One "All-Around". Because the
rims are tubeless compatible, changing a tubed tire takes a little more
patience — that's not a deal-breaker for me, but may be for some. I've had
them for years and have zero complaints. On a side note, working with
Cliffhangers are great. Wider than a lot of other rims, so I think your
tire will probably be closer to the marked width. They are also tubeless
compatible, which is at least nice to have that option even if you don't
run it. I run 700c silver 32h with 29 x 2.2" Terravail tires, not 650b but
I'm also looking for one of these but they appear to be sold out
everywhere. Anyone have a lead?

My name is Mike and I have a bike luggage problem...
I own many of the bags already mentioned and a couple not discussed yet so
here's my 2-cents:
I currently have 3 Swift Zeitgeist bags - a first generation in custom
colors and a couple newer ones, and for a good, durable, fairly lightweight
Sorry, I thought it had 26” and wanted to go up. Whoops!

Unfortunately, the Motolite only works for increasing wheel size and not in
the other direction. I e-mailed Paul when I first read about people using
it for the purpose of running different wheel sizes and he confirmed it
only works in one direction.

Excuse the cross post. Feeling the need to change things...again.
What I got:
-lightly used nitto albastache with lots of gummy residue to help with your
next taping
-Soma Sparrow, black, 49.5 with a few scratches
-a whole bunch of quality drop bars, tell me what you're looking for
Want I want:
Great looking bike Chris! Have you thought about the Paul Motolite? You
could go 650b without all the extra work!

Eric:
I have 38mm Pari Motos on my Riv Road (compact double for low to moderate
climbing). They handle chipseal well, are quick, and have good grip in
turns. Kevlar bead and lightweight but not long wearing or great on
punctures if you ride where goatheads abound. I'll be doing a RUSA
