Anyone know what model this is?
For those unfamiliar, Russ and his partner at Path Less Pedaled do a lot of great bike reviews, videos and interviews with Industry folk "on the supple side" of cycling, i.e.; they're into non race oriented stuff. Worth your time, I think.

He has improved a lot though he's gotten popular enough that he can review bikes other than the ones he & his girlfriend personally own and he doesn't have to beg people to get him bikes to test anymore.
I got my Polyvalent & my Bombora before he got them to test so I was interested to get his take on both. He added both to his personal stable so I felt like he was copying me for a while there. LOL!

The billies didn't work for me, but perhaps I gave up on them too quickly. I tried them on a 12 cm stem with a moderate front load on an overnighter and found everything too flexy.
He's already posted a second video of the Hillborne, this time on some mild single-track.

Hmmmm . . . . ?
Should be interesting. Even if he says "supple" 17 times OMG I hate that term.

For those of you contemplating wider albatross bars, there's a custom bar builder on Instagram doom.bars who has been making an albatross style bar in various 600mm+ sizes. And can make customs for $100usd. Can't say haven't been tempted.

Riv is not listing them other than saying blue and dark gold. Have you seen a sample of the dark gold? I was hoping for Orange again. Is the price to remain the same? ThanksJoel

Russ's videos, and his enthusiasm for the Sam (he did decide to buy it) pushed me over the edge and I put my deposit down 2 weeks ago with Golden pliers for a 51cm Sam H in the Dark Gold. I've been a Riv fanboy and occasional presence on this list for years, but this will actually be my own first Rivendell. I've owned (and sold) several Bridgestones, I had (and wrecked) an Ocean Air Cycles Rambler. I just recently took delivery of a custom Bantam disc brake sport tourer to replace the Rambler. And in the Portland bike community I'm involved with it's only a slight exageration when I say All My Friends Have Rivendells. Like Russ I've given the Rivendell treatment to several of my bikes, but it's time to go all in for the real deal. Part of my thinking is also a bit of a pendulum swing back to rim brakes, encouraged by Russ's review, as well as some comments Ron (Ultraromance) made about his Atlantis with Canti brakes on the GDMBR when Russ interviewed him a few months ago.Another bonus is that adding the Sam will actually reduce my stable. Part of my decision was "what bikes will this replace?" So I sold the 89 MB-2 drop-bar conversion, the BS Mile 112 is currently listed, and the Trek 750 is about to go as soon as I swap out the Albatross bars (going on the Sam). Also the Trek 930 650b conversion - back to 26" and on to Craigslist (the wheels were from the Rambler and will go on the Sam). Same with the Specialized Crossroads - that was going to be my next project, but there's no need now. So, add 1 bike, sell 5.Also, the place-hold for the new Sams is up on the Riv site. Will told me a couple week ago that they were already short on the 51's due to Blue Lug snagging a bunch. So if you're considering and on the fence, I suggest getting your name in quick.Mike M
