Awesome project, looking forward to the progress. I recently bought a Sam Hillborne used, i was trying to date it and i think it may be the same era as yours, with the caliper brakes. Any info on those fenders, are they custom painted too match? Thanks
Thanks for your comment! It was actually 2013 that I got the Hillborne and I got the fenders from Rivendell at the same time. On their site I think they were the SKS longboards and my recollection is that SKS did the cream color specifically for Rivendell but I feel like it might have been possible to get them in that color from other places as well. I hope you enjoy your Sam - I have absolutely loved mine and I really do ride it just about every day!
Great stuff Bryan! Looking good. Solid build and slick rig overall!
That’s a beautiful frame , the cranks will be awesome
Thanks for the comment! Very excited about the crankset!
