Patrick, I was considering the word classic in the sense that one would say something subjective like, "The Big Lebowski is a classic film," or even, "That bike is a classic beauty," and not as an objective term. I understand what you mean. Regardless of its non-classic top tube, the Sam is a

I have a 2009 Sam, and yes, they've always had sloping top tubes. It allows a greater range of PBHs to fit each size. "Classic" is relative, and Riv has never been in the business of simply remaking vintage bikes. And if one wants a (mostly) flat top tube Riv, there's always the Atlantis (or a c

+1 on mounting your Edelux to the tab on the fromt of your Nitto 32F. I used the front light mount that came with my Edelux II, a brake washer to keep it from slipping and a tamper-resistant allen bolt from https://www.bicyclebolts.com/ to keep people from running off with it. John On Sund

Boulder Bicycle has an adapter that might help. You may still need to experiment with spacers (available at most hardware stores) but I have these on two bikes and they have worked well. http://boulderbicycle.bike/Bags-and-Racks/Nitto-Racks-and-hardware/light-bracket-for-edelux-or-cyo-headlight

Photos would help in this situation. But if you want to mount a dynamo light to one of the eyelets on the side of a Nitto 32F, you can use a Problem Solvers Sheldons Nut for a lateral spacer. Or, you could use a Soma Wingmann to mount the light a little lower and ahead. This is a commercial prod
