I was in SF for some business training this week and fortune smiled on me as class let out early Friday afternoon leaving me with enough time to get from Downtown SF out to Walnut creek via BART and back before my evening flight. It was well worth the trip.
Grant and Keven were in the showroom and both very gracious and hospitable, I felt very welcome and got to not only ride both a 56cm SAM and the 54cm San Marcos prototype but had a wonderful cappuccino too!;-) Coffee and lugged steel bikes- heaven. I was shocked by how light the SAM was and pleased that the 56 cm fit my 82 pbh no problem, as I had been wondering for a while if it would be too big. When I came back after my test ride with a big goofy grin and mentioned how light it was Grant told me "everyone says that!". I think he/Riv has done such a good job of selling this bike as an "all rounder/stout/take it anywhere/accepts big tires" type of bike that people (or just me) expect it to be heavy. The San Marcos was a dream, I liked it so much I took two laps around the complex. Its light and nimble and smooth and if possible I had an even bigger goofier grin on my face after riding it. I need to start a San Marcos/AMOS frame fund 'cause that is going to be (is already) one great bike. Love the blue color too. Hope everyone gets a chance to visit the "mother-ship" it was great.
