Good morning all,

Before I build the Sam back up… 

Anyone wish they would have snagged a HiHo Silver 57?  Although, I do like the green on the new Sam.  And the Periwinkle builds shared here have also been stunning!

As I look at the frameset that could easily be packed for shipping, or rebuilt (already set on components).  Really appreciated the timeliness of the lightening the Sam for touring thread btw.

I wanted to see if there was any comparable sized Joe (54) or Atlantis (depends on year) frameset owners out there interested in a frameset trade?

Would need to know fairly quickly.  Happy to keep the Sam either way.

@Drew,

I must say that your corner of the your garage for bicycle maintenance and repair is extraordinarily well stocked and very organized to say none the least. It is very impressive. BTW, that is a beautiful silver Sam Hillborne.

Kim,

Thank you! 

That would be my favorite shop locally, ScissorTail Cycles, and most definitely not my garage! 😉

Dewayne makes some beautiful frames as well…

Best,

Drew

@Drew,

You are more than welcome.
I thank-you for letting me know the whole picture that it is actually your favorite shop locally, ScissorTail Cycles.

Keep smiling.

Kim Hetzel.

Update,

The sizing wasn’t right for either party after all. Trade fell through, and I am still looking for a Joe or maybe Atlantis frameset. 

Starting the Sam rebuild in the interim.  Rich recommended a 36H Quill dynamo set up. Going with a Silver 38/24 and Albatross bars w/Silver 2 thumbies.

Definitely excited about the upcoming Joe’s clearance.

Good luck with how it turns out, it looks like a great work space to figure it out

Drew, thanks for the photo of your exceptional workshop. So well equipped and organized! Kudos to you.
I like the cup & cone bottom bracket on your Sam. Is is the Tange that Riv sells? They're gorgeous.

Hope you're successful in making a trade.

Best,
Rich in ATL
