I picked that for my new Sam. It's due to be delivered next week. I chose
the friction option and Choco bars, and gave them details of the type of
riding that I do. I have faith that they will put together a nice set of
components to match that.

In Stanton Heights, so every ride ends with a climb!
Both bikes are rapid-rise, so in theory the springs and cables are at their
most restful setting.

Good choice Michael. I will be doing the same with my new Sam. I built up
one bike from a frame prior to this, which convinced me to let someone else
do it this time around.

Preferably with swept bars (Choco, Losco, Billie, etc) or possibly frame
only. I'm in Cincinnati, OH and could travel a reasonable distance to pick
up, or shipping is possible. Also will be traveling to Kansas City, KS in
June and could pick up along that route, as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, Patrick. I had a 54cm Roadini, which didn't
feel good, possibly because it was too big for me. That model does seem to
be the obvious choice, but I'm a bit wary of trying one in 50cm, because
the size may not have been the problem. The Homer is the other one that
Thanks Nick and Luke for your suggestions of the Atlantis. In the

Mike, I looked at this one, but from its description, it may be too much of
a road bike (i.e. fast racy type bike) for me. I own a Tommasini, so want
something more sedate. Chuck.

Thanks for the input on the Roadini, Garth. I'm still considering it in the
next frame size down.

I have had that problem in the past.
