Hi Phillip, Welcome to the group. There was a long conversion on this topic a couple of years back and, based on what Sam owners say and your preferences, the Sam (most recent one with the cantis) would be optimal. The cantis give you the option to run wider tires (with or without lugs, with or

My goal is to get back to riding an actual bicycle. A major health issue in January kept me off the bike for much of the year. I rode my Hunqapillar about 75 miles, all 1-3 miles at a time, but did put over 600 miles on a stationary bike I bought for conditioning. I went months riding the sta

Off the top of my head: Peñasquitos Preserve is a nice place to ride. The South side of the creek is basically a fire road while the North side is a bit more challenging. Nothing a rigid bike with decent tires couldn’t handle. I used to commute through there on 29 x 2” tires and I could easily

Replace, or add to? I have a Toyo Atlantis with 26" wheels, and don't think I'll ever part with it. It's too useful, as a Jack-of-all-trades. Fastest? Nope. Lightest? Nope. Not even close. Fanciest? Nope. But it's set up with fenders, racks, wide gear range, and dynamo lights, and it's as comfy
