The Sam is a versatile road and light trail bike. FOR ALL ROADS— paved, dirt, or gravel; and the kinds of fire trails a Conestoga wagon could negotiate, but not the kind that would require a jackass
'As a fan of Rivendell's timeless cycling philosophy, I was happy to see my favourite UK bike shop, Woods, carrying this iconic brand. After years of high(ish)-paced road and gravel riding, I'm ready to embrace a more leisurely approach to cycling. The Sam Hillbourne will be my trusty companion for commutes, forest cruising, and extended tours (with the addition of a pannier rack, of course). I'm incredibly grateful to Woods for making this dream build a reality. Thanks guys!'
