Sam, almost fully dressed

[Joel S]

I have about finished for now, the saddle is thanks to Ted Fay, not sure on it yet, will try my champion special again, but not bad and a big things as it was a gift. Another thanks to Jon Dukeman for nudging me just enough for me to get the front donut bag which is perfect to carry one or two small cameras.

The rear bag is my new Acorn Small, I also got a large so I could see which I like best, I think with the Donut bag that small is fine, a bit bigger than the Rivendell Kevin bag I have been using. The large one is bigger than the banana bag so I will see how I will like the size. The workmanship and materials are spectacular. 

The bar tape has a third layer around the brake levers due to the diacompe clamp hitting my hand, not sure how I will resolve this, I may leave it and I may rewrap ,I have plenty of time to decide.

Now that's a well dressed bike!

Thanks Hugh.

Very nice Joel!

Have you been able to get out on some rides on it?

If so, what are your thoughts?

Was planing on riding my orange Sam this morning but rain storms started up and I'm waiting for it to clear out.

Paul, the  bike rides great.  The 48mm tires help but Even without that the frame is just very body gentle.  Handling I’d stable, a bit slower than the Bleriot but not much and that may be me getting used to it.  I’ve put the Brooks saddle back on and all feels great.  

It would be very hard to go to a less relaxed bike ever again.  I like the chainstays on this one, would not, for me, want them longer.  

It was a great choice.  

The ones that have not hit yet, that dark gold would have been tempting as I like more subdues but I am getting very comfortable with the orange.  

I want to ride today as well but it is wet on the road, will see if it dries up. 

Thanks for your feedback.  

Joel
