Thanks for all the posts. I called RBW and they said that a complete build for the Sam Hillborne was north of 2700. I must have read an old post that said that i could get it at 2000. That makes the price differential quite considerable. For a primary commuter bike, 2700 is a bit much particularly since i want to use it as my winter commuter too. There is something nice about the pricepoint of the cc being low enough that I don't care about beating it up or worrying about it.

Any ride reports on the Sam Hillbornes?
