It seems that the geometry is a bit different on the 650b model.
Slacker head angle and less fork rake.
I wonder if they sell more of the 700c model in the similar sizes or
more of the 650B?

My understanding is that the A. Homer Hilsen is now available in 650B
in sizes: 47-50-52-54-56-58
and in 700C in sizes: 57-59-61-63-65-67-69-71
It says so on the AHH page:

For the size chart, you just look at the Saluki numbers on their big
pdf. The Saluki and the 650B AHH are the same thing. At least that's
how it has been explained to me.

Do they make a 58 650b Hilsen? I thought you could not do that
conversion becausse the bottom bracket is low already.
If they did that would be on the my short list too.

Subject: [RBW] Request for a 650B measurement, and a ride report update
First the request for help. Any of you that own a 650B Hilsen or
Saluki or Bleriot or Protovelo. Could you please take an approximate
measurement of the straigth line distance from the center of the front
hub axle to the base of the fork crown race? I want to figure out how
close it is to the 365mm length on my current 700C fork. If it's 10mm
or so longer than mine that would be perfecto. If it's shorter, that
would be bad for my conceptual project. Thanks in advance to whomever
can help.- Hide quoted text -
