The main difference between my (old) 56cm double TT and my (new) 55 cm
single TT Sams are that I used to be able to grasp the lower TT to lift the
bike without worrying about the frame pump, which I used to place between
the TT's! Actually, my original was first generation and had a "made to a
A second top tube provides an added canine safety feature if:
You have dismounted and are using the bike to block a charging dog.
The extra TT makes it that much harder for the dog to leap through your
frame and latch onto your leg , especially if you have two waterbottle
cages and a frame pump
I re-checked the one on the blug and it is sidepull. I will continue my
blissful contentment with my orange, canti-sam. Despite the fact that there is
no functional need for 2tt on a 56, I've always liked the unique aesthetic of
the 2tt Rivs. But, it's good to be content with what one has. Ho
I agree that they might look cool but no reason to have a 2nd top tube IMO.
I have a single tube AHH in 67cm and it rides just fine...

thats how i justified my sam. i knew that 56 was moving to 55 and that
neither would likely have dbl top tubes again, so when one popped up, i
couldnt stop myself. canti-sams are special too though. i passed on a 56
double top tube canti sam before buying current sam, and it still stings.

I did NOT need to know about that web special! I love my orange, canti
Hillborne but always desired the double tt model. Can't believe they have one
on web specials.

That's correct. One little detail: when they were single-color orange and some
came with cantis and some came with sidepulls in 2010, the 2TT started to
appear on the 60's but not yet the 56's. I remember because when I bought mine
at the end of that year, my thinking was, "ooh, I can still get
This 56 certainly has a double: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/wsf-164.htm

i had to look up "antedate", but i think that is right.
i think it went:
-all sams w/o dbl tt
-56 and up w/ dbl tt
-58 and up w/ dbl tt

I had one of the earlier Sam Hills, with cantis. I forget if it was a 55 or
a 56, but it had only 1 tt, and I am pretty sure this model antedated the
2-top-tube fad.
Amirite?
Mine had a 59 cm tt, which was pretty darned long for a 55, though the
slacker (??71??) st angle took care of part of this
per drew's point, it is probably a 56 and the seller got confused when he
looked up the current listings. i believe the 56cm has a slightly longer
top-tube measurement (59 vs 57) if i'm reading the specs correctly. the
current 58 is closer to the old 56.

i have a 56 with double top tube. 55 replaced the 56 and eliminated the
second tube, from what i recall.
