So I literally just got off the phone with John at Rivendell who took my order for a 63cm AHH. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. It'll be a while until I've got it on the road as I need to decide on and save for wheels. Current parts for the bike which are in my possession.
Shimano LX RR RD Silver shifters with barend pods Sugino cranks 46-36-24 Nitto Crystal Fellows seatpost Brooks Champion saddle Silver brakes Shimano levers Nitto Noodle bars (46) I'm leaning towards Phil hubs, the Rivendell models, for the wheels and possibly a Phil BB. I'm also considering a lugged stem although I don't know. That's pretty decadent. Regardless of parts this bike will easily be the most expensive bike I've ever owned. I've been cycling 15yrs and I feel like it's well deserved or as well deserved as any kind of consumer item can be. For the past year I've been on a Rambouillet which I love but just wasn't up to the task of doing everything I wanted it to do. Once the AHH is set-up I'll take the 32 Paselas off the Ramb and put on Ruffy Tuffys and probably Honjo fendrs and keep it as my "go fast" bike. I did some major rides this past year which included a 200km, 300km and 600km brevets along with about 5 solo centuries and weekly 50 to 80 mile rides. I'm hoping to next year complete a super rando series (200, 300, 400, & 600 brevets) along with some S24O, multiple solo centuries and lots and lots of gravel roads. I'll keep you folks posted on the progress. --mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
