After much deliberation, I'm considering selling my Sam.  Will update in a day or so and maybe do a flickr photo set if there's any interest.

I have, complete and ready to ride, a Sam as described in the subject line: orange dtt, waterford-made (if that matters to you) by all accounts (having the seat stay bridge with brake housing stop.  It is in great physical shape but cosmetically has many scratches and paint chips that the previous owner addressed with red fingernail polish.  So it looks a bit rough but that being said you don't really notice at first; it's not that bad but looks far from new.  The only physical thing is the tiny point of the lug at the top of the seat tube is bent away from the tube.  I could tap it with a small hammer and bend it back but it's so tiny and hardly noticeable I haven't yet.  Pics can show all these gory details if anyone is interested.  Otherwise, I had my LBS check out the frame and it's straight as an arrow.  No rust, no dents, rides perfect.  Most of the parts I've bought new (in 2013) and put very little wear on (less than 150 miles, probably less than 100).  See below.  

This bike is loaded and although I'd unload a few parts, I'd like to sell it as it sits.

Here's the list:
- Nitto R15 rear rack, like new
- Soma front rack, like new
- Riv grid grey large trunk sack, like new
- wheels are 36h Velocity Dyads on LX hubs.  The back shows a little use but I bought the front new.  Both are true. cassette, quick releases included.
- tires are Continental speed ride 42's (actually 38).  still have the little nipple things on them.
- Brooks B17 aged.  I bought it new.  Has one minor scuff but otherwise as new. Seatpost is Sam's stock as is headset and bb.
- cabling: is Yokozuna grey with brass ferrules.  looks sharp!
- Pletscher kickstand with rubber foot and shorty bolt.  new, again.
- Stem - Nitto Tallux 10 cm.  Yup, bought it new.
- Alba bars.  I traded for these.  a few scratches but otherwise dandy condition.
- Crane brass bell 26, slightly tarnished 
- Shimano LX all-silver rear derailer.  Riv sold these a while but apparently no more.  Looks sharp in all silver and again as new.
- Sugino wide/low double crank.  bought new.
- Grip King Pedals.  much newness.
- No front derailer, though I can make it happen if it matters.  I shift the front by hand (rarely) and the rear with a SunRace thumbie mounted to the stem.  Looks sharp and works great.
- Tektro CR720 brakes and velo orange $12 levers (simple and beefy, I love 'em)

For EVERYTHING as listed above (if I left something out required for a bike to work, rest assured it's there as well), $18000. Would keep the crankset, brakes, and rear der. and replace with vintage but very nice Shimano XT brakes, lever/shifter combo, V-brakes, and a White Industries crank set for a $250 discount.  If you like V brakes and want a triple and index shifting, you'll still have a complete bike with nice components and $250 more in the bank.  Just throwing that option out there as I'd reuse these parts on my next build.

Whew! Thanks for looking.  More later.

Oops! That would be $1800, not $18,000.

After that whole Riv water bottle thread I really wasn't sure.
