Earlier this year, REEB brought back one of their longest-running bikes - the Sam’s Pants, a steel drop-bar rig built for just about anything. I’ve been testing it over the past month on day rides and a loaded bikepacking trip, putting in over 300 miles. In this video, I dig into its history, geometry, and ride feel to see if this modern update still captures what made the original so good.

This video was supported by Coros, learn more about their solar charging head unit here: us.coros.com/dura
