Three Sams

18 Apr 2023

Rivendell's Sam Hillborne, which they categorize among their "Country Bikes", is a versatile frame made for all types of roads and a good amount of touring.

The Sam is a do-it-all road bike: road biking, road touring, groceries, shopping, commuting. That's why it's been so popular! All roads and all weather, too. In Riv's words: "Can the "gravel bike" you're considering fit fenders? How about racks?"

Here are three builds fresh off the stands expressly spec'd to do it all! Some similarities, some differences, but in all cases these bikes are set to be trusty companions for decades to come!
