The sale on the mis-paited hilbornes caught a Susan's attention and she ordered it.  She is also learning to do much of the work herself.     She had borrowed or Holdsworth for a tour earlier this year with Dawn and I.  

Here are some photos of the first and second iterations of the bike.   Still have to wait on fenders to arrive, racks, bags, and dyno hub and lights. 

Looks great so far.

Great ride! The color looks fabulous and she looks like she wants to go miles and miles.

That Holdsworth is sweet, too...

Nice set up...the Bosco bars really seem to fit the Sam and the photos with her in different riding positions really helped in visualizing the entire build. What size is the frame? I've been thinking of Boscos for my LHT xtracycle  build if the Surley Open bars don't work out.

You've got an amazing shop...makes me drool every time I see it.

It's a 56 cm.   My wife liked the Albatross better and the Bosco's were on the wall.   Susan instantly liked them, then even more after riding.   I liked the many hand positions, and head wind position down and low. 

It will also change quickly for her to do fully loaded touring a few weeks a year.
