Looking for inspiration ... if you have one, or know of some nice 62 Sam double top tube builds, please post pics - thanks!

I’m in the same boat, bring them on!

I've had a lot of different configurations for my 62 Sam. Current version is running Albastache bars. Wish it had canti's. Removing wide tires with the Tektro 559's is a pain.

Austin B - I hate messing with cantilever brakes. Set up is much more of a pain than good old side pulls. If they really bother you, Try out some Paul Racers. They open up wider.

@PaulS

Someday maybe. I have Paul Minimoto's on my Black Mountain Monstercross and they are by FAR the best brakes I have ever used! Worth every penny.

Reid and Austin - thanks for posting your pics!  Curious what your standover is (and the tires per that standover).

Just finished the build, and it has a bit more standover than I expected (94 pbh here). Haven't measured or anything but it's a good bit more post than I would usually like. Might end up a catch and release frame, but I'm going to ride it for while and see how it goes.

I forgot to mention, tires are 43mm Gravelkings.

@Tom: I've a 93cm PBH, saddle height is 82cm. Just measured--standover is about 908mm with 42mm Cazaderos.

@Reid: how do you like the 43mm Gravelkings?

Thanks Reid. Deacon Patrick and I have the same PBH (90.5) but are alike in that we like the larger frames ... for our PBH, assuming a decent length stem and an A+M or Albatross-ish bar.
