Sam Hillborne seatpost

[Ron Cramer]

It is probably on the website and I missed it. What seatpost on the new Sam Hillborne: 26.8 or 27.2?

Thanks

27.2

For some reason I feel like there is some rule of thumb like...lugged frames are 27.2 and tigged or filet brazed or different. I am probably wrong about that.

Thanks!

Believe it or not(get a life, Ryan) - I couldn't find seat post diameter anywhere on SH specs on the RBW site or in any of the newsletter specs for later iterations of this frame...but as a counter-example for Johnny Alien, I do remember Leah's quest for a nicer long-setback post for her Platypus(lugged frame) limited her options somewhat because it  took a 26.8; RBW lists this. And I think the Roaduno (lugged) is also 26.8. The Roadeo does list 27.2 as the seatpost size as does Homer Hilsen.But....bupkis for the Sam unless the frame brochure they put out from time to time lists it somewhere. 

All that being said, easiest way to find out is to give RBW HQ a call

There you go....I was completely wrong on that lugged part. :)

I will say I owned a SH back in the day and it was 27.2 BUT they could have changed that as things have indeed changed on their bikes over the years.

Blue Lug lists 26.8 in their specs for Sams

My 1st Sam was 27.2, my second was 26.8. Pretty sure that the current models are 26.8.

It is a 26.8 on the Sam Hillborne I just received from this latest batch.

[Ron Cramer]

Thanks for getting back to me.
