Re: [RBW] WTB / ISO - A. Homer Hilsen, 58cm

The Hillborne is a great bike.  I bought one 1.5 years ago and it has 
become a favorite all time bike.  Enjoy.

 I’m still on the lookout for an A. Homer Hilsen (58-61cm - appropriate 
 for 87 pbh).

 If you happen to have one you’re willing to part with, please let me 
 know.

 A couple interesting opportunities have come up, but I remain hopeful 
 that I might find a used AHH.

 Good afternoon Jason,

 I got a chance to ride that same AHH over at Mack’s and had the 
 opposite problem - the bike rode like an absolute dream but was just a 
 little too small for me.

 Which unfortunately means that anything in my stable would also be 
 a little large for you.

 I think that AHH was a 61cm which would make it the same size as 
 the bike that just got posted up for sale but it might be worth 
 chatting 
 with the owner.

 Go Huskies!

@Mathieu - Totally agreed - the AHH at Mack’s was in all ways a dreamy bike 
and a joy to ride. It was listed as 61.5cm, and by the book was really 
close to fitting my PBH (87). It felt just a slight bit tall for me, but I 
debated buying it anyways. In the end, I decided to hold out for something 
that feels 100% natural. I’m finding that my particular PBH is transitional 
for many of the Riv frames and could go either up or down a size. Thanks 
for mentioning the San Marcos at Mack’s - definitely worth a shot to check 
if it fits.


@Eric - Cheers!


@John - The Hillborne posted a couple days back is a beaut’. Somehow I’ve

so I’m holding out for one for now. Since initially posting this, I’ve been

Good afternoon Jason,

I got a chance to ride that same AHH over at Mack’s and had the opposite 
problem - the bike rode like an absolute dream but was just a little too small 
for me.

Which unfortunately means that anything in my stable would also be a little 
large for you.

I think that AHH was a 61cm which would make it the same size as the bike that 
just got posted up for sale but it might be worth chatting with the owner.

Go Huskies!

[RBW] WTB / ISO - A. Homer Hilsen, 58cm

2021-10-16 Thread jro 


Hi Riv’ers,

I post this in hopes someone in the RBWOB might have a sadly unused AHH in 
their stable, wishing to find a new Home for their Homer.

I’m looking for a size 58cm or thereabouts (appropriate for an 87.3 PBH). A 
frameset would be preferred, but a built up bike would also be great. If 
you have one you’re willing to give up, please let me know!


The RWB Owners Bunch has been a resoundingly useful resource since I’ve 
gone from admiring these beautiful bikes from a distance for some time to 
finding myself in the market to own one. Eric and Reed’s cataloguing of 
past Rivendell Readers and literature has been valuable in helping get an 
understanding of the history of these fine bikes and the ideas behind them. 
Mack’s Bike and Goods in Evanston, IL turned me on to this group after I 
test rode a Riv in their shop recently that was, unfortunately, slightly 
too big. I’m happy they did so.

If I’m unable to locate a used one, I’ll likely be entering the lotto for 
one of the new ones released later this year (or however the Walnut 
Creekers decide to to release after the Clem Ls). I’ve also had an eye on 
the “used” threads to see if one might come up eventually. At any rate, 
glad to have found this community and thanks for reading.
