Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 56cm Sam Hillborne 2009

I owned one like yours, first edition, 56 cm, and in fact it was Riv's floor model with their build; very nice, tho' for various reasons it didn't after all fit my needs and preferences. I had lowrider bosses attached to the fork legs.

How much weight can you carry in that basket before handling turns wonky? I recall just for a look-see putting 40 lb or so (gallon milk jugs filled with water) into front lowriders and I could hardly steer! The bike just insisted on going straight; I guess due to the highish flop factor, or whatever the technical term is. Of course, no one expects to carry 40 lb in front in the real world, but I wonder what the limit is.

The IRD high-profile cantis that the Riv crew had installed remain my Platonic archetype of braking goodness and beauty; wish I'd kept them.

***I should mention that it has a couple of dings, one on the top tube and one on the seat tube where the front derailleur clamps. I’ve included a couple of pictures. Rivendell told me that they’re of no concern, but they’re there, and it is what it is...the paint is in pretty good condition apart from some chips here and there.

Hey there, I’ve got a 2009 56cm Sam Hillborne that I’m looking to sell as a frameset, rolling chassis, or complete. Color is the old metallic green, some people find it terrible and some others seem to really like it. I personally think is great.

Below you can find the geometry, it’s slightly different that the newer 55cm ones
