Hi Doug, grips are Ergon GP-1 Small, MKS Sylvan Touring pedals. I've switched the thumbshifters to outside the bars to use rear indexing, but the location interferes with using the tops of the curves as a "hoods" riding position. The right/rear shifter will shortly be replaced with a vintage XTR

[RBW] Help sizing a AHH (Homer Hilsen)

I have been looking at a 61cm AHH for sale in my area. My PBH is 90 cm, more or less. It is for sale at a good price but I am hesitating because RBW suggests maybe I am closer to a 63cm. With that being said, I have never seen a 63 for sale and the 61 is accessible now. I have done a lot of

Re: [RBW] Help sizing a AHH (Homer Hilsen)

Based on your PBH, I doubt that the 61 cm would feel "too small". That said, you may end up with more seat setback and a longer stem than the current owner. On Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 3:25 PM, Eric Floden wrote: > If price is favorable then buy and try now. Upsize later if needed. > > Then again

How do you intend on setting it up? Drop bars/swept back/upright? I think that might matter. Personally, I could deal with 2cm more quill stem and seatpost showing, but if the top tube is too short for my intended riding, then that'd be a dealbreaker for me. Then again, if the price is right, yo

[RBW] Re: Help sizing a AHH (Homer Hilsen)

When I bought my AHH I measured my PBH at 89. Grant suggested a 63 and Keven (he was still at Riv then) suggested 61. I bought the 63. A couple of years later I re-measured my PBH at 87.5. I double and triple checked it so I'm pretty sure the mistake was in the 89cm measurement. I still ride the

Things that come to mind: - Wald Basket large enough for a 12 pack attached to rear rack. - pannier large enough for a 12 pack attached to rear rack (the way I usually do it). - 2 panniers with 12 pack split in half so the weight is evenly distributed (never seemed worth the effort to me) - Nelson
