[RBW] Sweater/Top recomendation

[NWAJack]

So I live in Arkansas as opposed to MN :), and I'm looking for a good 
winter shirt/sweater.  Basically I want somthing I can wear riding, 
fishing, and hiking in 40-60 degree weather that could also be worn for 
"general use".   Too often now I end up with just a cotton sweatshirt or 
something and want something a little nicer and looks better.   I'm looking 
the WoolyWarm sweaters and also the Assie Wool Crewneck - any suggestions 
as to which one?

[RBW] front or rear rack?

[NWAJack]

Hi all.  I currently use an acorn handlebar bag on longer rides.  I like it, 
but it's in the way at times. I'm thinking a small rack might be a better 
option.  I camp very very rarely and don't do multi day tours, so I don't want 
both a front and a rear rack - but which is best? Preferences out there?  Bike 
is a homer hilsen.
Thanks,
Jack in Arkansas

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike Choice

[NWAJack]

Similar story.  Got into bikes about 5 years ago as an adult in my 50s, 
potbelly and bad knees and all.  Bought a Trek 1.2 from the lbs.  Loved it and 
loved riding, but sure got tired and sore after a 40 or 50 mile ride.  Started 
looking for the carbon bike that everyone said I needed.  Then wife bought me 
GP's book for christmas.  Wow.  I can carry things in bags? Things like 
sandwiches! Platform pedals?  Comfort?  Ordered my Homer about 6 months later.  
Amazing bike.  I now ride 50-100 miles at a time in comfort!!

As far as tires go, I originally had the 35mm Marathon Supremes, but 
recently switched out the the Jack Browns, Blue in back and Green in 
front.   I like the Jack Brown's better for type of riding I do the most:  
on road, chip and seal.

[RBW] Re: Found the Elfin Magic

[NWAJack]

The shorter stem did feel a little different, but not bad in any way.
 
Anyway - I guess if 70 stems were so "wrong" I don't think GP would 
stock them.  Either way I don't really care.  The bike fits perfectly now. 
:)

Glad you too found the right stem.  I'm running noodles also and like you have 
a short reach I guess.  It looks fine to me and I can ride in comfort.  Thats 
what counts.

[RBW] Found the Elfin Magic

[NWAJack]

When I purchased and had Keven and Mark build up my AHH a few months ago, I 
went with the "default" 100mm Tallux Stem.   I had nothing to compare it 
too since I've always road "race" bikes previously. After 2 months of 
adjusting the stem height, saddle tilt, etc. I wasn't able to find a really 
comfortable position that didn't put too much weight on my hands.  Finally 
broke down and used some Riv bucks to bujy a 70 instead.   Instant Elfin 
magic!!! It's perfect.Very little weight on my hands, and found the 
sweet spot for sure.  I love it even more.
On a side note, after a ride this morning I switched out the Marathon 
Supremes' that I had spec'd originally with some Jack Browns.Green in 
front and Blue in the back.   I haven't ridden them yet but wow are they 
easy to mount.  Another winner. :)

I think a 19 inch bike is supposed to fit a person about 5'7" tp 5'11" with 
an inseem of around 29-31.My PBH is about the same, and I've got a 57 
Homer Hilsen.  Not sure if this helps or not though.

[RBW] New AHH Owner Intro

[NWAJack]

Although I've posted a  few things on here, I just wanted to introduce 
myself. I've just become the proud owner of a new A. Homer Hilsen, my 
first Riv.   I'm 50 years old and about 30 pounds overweight.   7 years ago 
I was 100+ pounds overweight, started running and eating better, and lost a 
lot.   Over time my knees started giving me trouble, and so I took up 
cycling about 4 years ago, migrating more and more to the bike.   I had 
purchased a Trek 1.2, and really found I enjoyed riding.   Then I found GPs 
book, and identified very stongly with what he said.  I really thought 
about the type of riding I wanted to do - long rides through the 
countryside, comfort, abillity too add multple bags or racks, etc.  So 
I ended up ordering the AHH in November.   Some delays but I got the bike 
last week.   I've never been so impressed by a purchse or a company.  Heck 
- I even got a Thank You card in the mail yesterday from RIV - signed by 
everyone.   I'm a convert, and can't wait to get out on a nice long ride 
tomorrow.   Have a good weekend everyone!

[RBW] kickstand question.

[NWAJack]

Trying to put on a single leg pletcher kickstand on my new ahh.  Look like the 
rear derailer cable could rub the plate.  Anyone see this issue?

[RBW] Re: Does shellaced tape feel crusty?

[NWAJack]

So I just got my new AHH from Riv.   I ordered it with newbaums white - and 
it came with what looks like a single coat of shellac.   FYI - but it was 
fine for me, I had intended on shellac anyway.   You might double check 
with Riv if you don't want it shellaced at all.I've got two coats of 
amber on my white tape right now.   I think it looks and feels awesome.

Yeah- haven't touched the weight machine in a while :).  I put my acorn bag on 
this morning and will get out Saturday to try my best to start getting it 
dirty.  I name my bikes and I think the Ahh will be known as Jenny - a 
road/trail warrier!

Not sure.  Ive not seen the regular blue in person - but this isn't custom. 
Probably my camera.  Tape is newbaums white with some amber shellac- two cots 
so far.
