Sheesh - don't mess with a guy's excuse to get a second Rivendell! Jim - go
with a Homer. If you are longing that way, it won't let you down.

Best excuse I've heard in a long time; gotta keep that in mind except
we don't have dogs.
As to the stair thing, any bike is a hassle to lug up & down stairs.
They are kinda cumbersome even if light. A typical Riv set up
suitable for country rambling is going to be at least 25 lbs and

I'd guess that a second Sam Hill might be a good choice for a "second
location" bike that will be used on pavement and dirt. I had one, and
while I didn't like the handling -- the front seemed to wander, though
this may have been due to the fact that I had the bar a good 4 or 5

I have a 10.5 lb mini dachsund. I'm guessing your dogs are a tad
larger.

Hard to explain but we take 5 dogs and luggage including astronomy gear. I just
prefer to have a second bike and not carry one back and forth. Perhaps just an
excuse.

Assuming equal number of top tubes, my guess is that the Sam falls
between the Hilsen and the Atlantis, based on its description on
rivbike.com: "It's a cross between the Atlantis, our cantilever-braked
touring bike, and the A. Homer HIlsen, our roadish country bike. "It's

Pardon me, but could you help me understand why the bike wouldn't fit
on a hitch or roof rack? Maybe all you need is a second set of wheels
and a nice Saris hitch rack?

OK, two questions that have nothing to do with the ride quality.
I know weight is a taboo question but I like in a row house and have
to carry my bikes up a fair number of stairs. Can someone list the
frames in order lightest to heaviest?
On the Rivendell site there are a number of Atlantis bikes
Jim:
I'm partial to the Atlantis since that's what I ride. As others have
pointed out, Bomba, Hunqa or Atlantis can all be set-up as equally
competent country / off-road bikes for what you describe. For the
3,000 acres of country riding, I'd want seriouly chubby tires, and
would make a choice ba
Whoops! I guess I was thinking Hilson when I said 54!

I'd say, given the area around your farm, get a bike that can take
wider tires than the Homer. Another Sam, at least, or better yet an
Atlantis, Bomba, or Hunqa. Id' say these last 3 are similar enough
that you could go by price and/or paint scheme. The Sam doesn't come
in a 54, just a 52, which ma
