The newsletter pretty unambiguously declared the MIT Hilsen is replacing the
Hillborne, so there will be no more Sam Hillbornes. The newsletter also said a
little bit more ambiguously that Clem’s are going to end. For the year or
forever wasn’t clearly stated, but it said the last of the cheap R
Blame it on intertextuality, but I recall Grant saying elsewhere that the
Clem-L would probably replace the Clem-H going forward, and so gave the text a
narrow reading: last of the Clem-Hs, but not last of tbe Clem-*s... unless they
bring back the Clementine model name.
Based mostly on remarks
I have an email in to Dave @ Riv about the Sam situation, but haven't heard

Update from Dave: No Sams planned for '18/'19 beyond the upcoming small Sparkly
Orange 51cm run. Could be back later, but hoo boy I better think about getting
that 51 before I become a much older person. Orange! With sparkles!

I say get rid of the AHH and Sam and bring back the Saluki. All functionally
equivalent, but the newluki could embody both more concisely and get the best

That would make both Country Bikes in the new catalogue obsolete. This seems an
unlikely move.

Where does one find this newsletter? I usually get physical mailings from
RBW but haven't seen one since the most recent catalog.

My understanding from that statement is that Riv will be alternating orders
between the Sam and AHH, and Joe and Atlantis. That is why the sizing doesn’t
overlap.

Funny enough, the Salukis did come in either sidepull version or cantilever
version, the main distinguishing feature of MIT Hilsens versus Hillbornes.
I found an online image of a Saluki with sidepull Silver brakes, but I have a
question out of curiosity: were any Salukis made with dedicated p
Nope. That was around the time Riv first started promoting centerpulls, but
they always sold the Paul Racer with the center bolt.

I remember when the Saluki was in the works, they said it would be for “650B

The Silver brake (AKA Tektro R559) still didn’t exist yet, so it was presumed
that the centerbolt sidepull models would be set up with centerpulls. A year or

Long time RBW fans understand: "if you see something you like, buy it now."
Riv has always cycled older models out and newer ones in. Seems a result of
changes in the supply chain cost & availability in different places as well as
the continued development of bike thinking on the part of GP. I
I thought the very first Salukis came with either with cantilever posts or
without. This was before the big Tektro brakes. I could definitely be wrong.
