We just about finished up this Sam Hillborne for John S. He'll use it primarily for commuting, but also for the occasional light tour. It's got a bunch of Riv un-approved bits, but here at Analog we're pretty fond of tubeless tires, bigger than VP pedals, and 1x drivetrains. Of course, not every bike goes out with that stuff!

It's about to get a trouser guard for the outer chainring, as well as a Big Nitto rear rack.

For gear inch nerd: it's roughly 85 on the high side and 18.7 on the low side. 36t ring.

Wow, that’s one crazy commute! Grin.

With abandon,

Sunrace now sells an 11-50 that fits a standard (I think) Shimano hub, so I don't think that will be XD.

Nope. It's a standard FH body.

That's awesome. I've seen ebike builds before that hid the motor to mimic non-assist, but that giant cassette makes this non-assist look like an ebike! 😂

The nice touch that caught my eye is the Dia Compe headset cable hanger with a built in QR cam. That's a classy old school unit. APPROVE.

Nice setup! What derailleur do you use to support the 11-50? Thanks!

It's actually a brunch plate. Mainly for eggs benedict, but if you want to think outside the box, you could use it for a round belgian waffle.

That's my next project. Look for it on Bike Radar and the Radavist.

I'm not sure whether 50 effing teeth! Already! is a better way to get a 19" gear than a wide range double with a 24 X 34, say. But I can see that someone carrying a heavy load over many hilly miles might want a 19" gear.

Same number of rear cogs while dropping a front derailer and one chainring. I'm all for it 👍

Can anyone tell me who makes the bar-end mirror on this Hillborne?

Busch and Muller does. They make a few variants on it. Best mirrors going, mostly aluminum construction.

We dig em!
