As great as ever. I would like to recommend that anyone in the market for a Sam not be dissuaded by the undertube. For the bike's country-riding purposes it takes away nothing. The bike looks great in person, and rides as well as people have been saying for a couple of years now. The Taiwanese
Great bike. I won't be getting one because it is really Rammy-like, and I already have a Rammy.
But did I mention that the San Marcos is Rammy-like. Makes it a real winner. I rode the 63 cm. A bit big for me at 6'3.5". Still excellent. It was fast and light.

They feel comfortable out of the box.
+1 for me too. I may get one just because it has sidepulls and fits fat

Good on you Liesl! I'm in the Twin Cities area, and I too opted out of my
normal (~30 mile round trip) bike commute yesterday on account of the
miserable conditions. Not only did you ride, you chased down and foiled the
