[RBW] Re: I ordered a Sam!

2014-08-12 Thread Thomas Skean
I loved my 2010 (solid) orange Hillborne so much I bought a 2012 (solid) green 
Hillborne, I built them up very very nearly identically and ride both regularly.

Fantastic bikes! Congratulations! Enjoy!

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

I wanted to wait for the blue /cream combination that is due to arrive in 
September.I like the look of the detailed head tube.But I was told there 
wouldn't be any 58cm in that shipment..So I got the sage.If it was a big 
deal I could have it painted at a local bike paint shop before it's 
assembled but the sage will be fine I'm sure. Get on it and ride

I think both colours are really nice, and I think you'll be very happy with 
the SH. Enjoy and keep us posted. If my X0-1  ever went missing I'd 
consider an SH

2014-08-08 Thread RJM
Congrats on the bike...the Sam is a really good all arounder that does well 
touring, trail riding, and road riding. It was my first Rivendell and I 
still love it, even after getting the Roadeo. 
 
I tell you though, I'm kinda torn between the cream head tube and just 
having a solid color. My Sam is orange with a solid head tube color but I 
got the Roadeo orange too, but with a cream headtube. I don't know which 
one I like better. I would say I fall slightly in the the solid color camp, 
even though I love my Roadeo to death.

Oh, and don't forget to document your box art:

One trade off to the joy of being able to visit RWHQ often is that I never 
get packages with box art.
My Hillborne was handed to me seconds after having its head badge affixed, 
with best wishes by Mark, which felt quite good, though.

Don't feel bad. I live in MD and didn't get no box art other than top 
writ on the bike box! But it was a Sam and not the high dollar bikes...

Box art may depend on how busy the shipping dept is that day.  Or whether 
the box artist is working.

Congratulations! I am excited for you and look forward to photos and 
possibly figuring out how we might do some gravel (there is some great 
gravel out of Buffalo Creek, sort of a half way point west of us both, in 
Lost Creek wilderness. I've wanted to take the QB there. Here's a small 
sample:
