Fun thread.
I met a neat old fellow on a trip to Colorado several years back who introduced
me and my grandsons to his mild mannered donkey.
He named him Donkey-Oatey which I thought was a hoot.
He also had several horses.He let my daughter ride one of the horses.
He was such a nice friendly old

It looks like a remarkably great time was had by all.
I would love to attend one year.

I'm running Soma Supple Vitesse EX in the 700 x 42 on my Sam Hillborne and like
them a lot.
I think 380 g's for that size tire is not bad and the price is good.
I just saw on the Soma site they are no longer making that size. Here's their
verbiage.(Sizes: 28c to 42c 23c (no longer made)

Thank you for sharing these projects.You really excel on your video documenting

I'm sure the friend appreciates all the work and attention to detail you out

I just saw inquiry on my Sam's handlebar and stem.
The bars are Sunlite North Road in the alloy version.
They are also offered in a slightly heavier steel version.
The stem is a bit of a Nitto dirt drop knock off I found on amazon.
It works well but the name on it is laughableFito.

Eric,
The SR mixture turned out really nice!Well done!
Your shop is also terrific.
I do my own wrenching but only dream of a well organized nice shop like yours.
I need to be inspired and get some organization going so I don't have to hunt
for tools when I need them.

I see there are plenty of older folks on this list me included.
I'm in the early 70's group also.
Upright bars are on all my bikes now.I've occasionally mounted drop bars with a
taller stem but then switched back to upright bars.
I just no longer like riding in the drops so no need for drop bars
Hi Kim.
You really have that Clem set up nice!

That really looks like a fun adventure Collin.
Thanks for sharing.

Very very nice Joe!
It's great to have a forum to share pics of our bikes, our rides/adventures on
them, upgrades to them and all that goes with all that.
Like minded people get it but most of my family and friends just roll their
eyes when I start talking bikes.
It's part of the joy of it for me
I should mention that Ahearne does have them in stock.
He's hoping to find a used one to save some dough.
As many of you know from experience it gets expensive trying lots of different
handlebars.
It will be used on his A Homer Hilsen.
Thank you.

A good friend is trying to locate an Ahearne Map handlebar in the 610mm (61cm)

Let me know if you have one or a source where one might buy one.

Thanks Laing.
I'm glad to know about this tool.
I'm wondering about the pros and cons of changing a 26.8 or perhaps 26.6 which
most of my bike are to a 27.2.
Well, I can think of several pros...I just wouldn't want to mess the seat tube
up if there are cons.

Leah, what a great account of trying a new aspect to cycling!
It's made even greater that you're doing it on a Platypus!
This thread was a fun read.
I enjoyed the insightful reply as well.
It sounds like many on this list have tried the faster group riding at one
time in their cycling experience
That new Platypus is the coolest!
Love the color combos...
You outdid yourself!
Congrats and may you have many joyful and safe miles on Secret Platy.

I saw some of Garbaruk stuff on their site.
Did most of the color parts come from Garbaruk?

I enjoyed reading of your Hillborne adventure.

I recently let a 1986 Schwinn Passage go to a new owner after enjoying a lot
for around 3 years.
The only reason I did sell it was because I bought a Sam Hillbourne about a
year ago and have been riding it more.
I think the Columbus Tenax tubing of which the Passage is made is pretty good
stuff
Jason Fuller, that's remarkable that the two roosters and the sheep are taking
such an interest in your Sam Hillbourne.
.Do you have something pungent in your rear panniers?
Perhaps they just like orange bikes.I know I do.
Its good to hear your Sam did well under load.

Marc, if you see this I like how your blue Hillbourne is set up.

them a lot but not an upright bar.
