sorry, im responsible for thread drift here.
that makes sense though, since the atlantis is straight gauge now, and
since the hillborne is butted in some way/calipered/tighter clearanced the
similarities probably do err much more on the side of the current hilsen.

OK, from RR41:
"The Sam may be even more versatile than the AHH, because the
tubing is slightly thicker (same gauge as the Atlantis), so it more suited
to loaded touring. With AHH clearance, Atlantis tubing gauges, and a
fork that splits the diff, you can think of it as halfway between the
Atlanti
My recollection is that the tubes were heavier on the Hillborne.

Not sure about the Chev/Clem part of your questions, but regarding
Hillborne/Homer, you are basically right. The only detail I'll add is that the
Hillborne was introduced as a bike that is halfway between Homer and Atlantis.
Having ridden both, I think Homer is faster.

Wasn't the Hillborne more or less literally just a Homer-like bike with the
expanded geo/fewer sizes and made in Taiwan things? That was the impression
I always got from the Readers when they announced them, anyway.
I wonder if the rider weight thing with the Chev is the step-through and
lack o
that's an interesting table that zed posted. im sort of surprised that the
cheviot can handle more loads (but less rider weight) than a hillborne, and
that the hilsen and hillborne are so similarly maxed out.

That is certainly true when one is young; I did very fast and moderately
long (50-60 mile) rides as a teenager under the equatorial sun (tho' at
5-6-7K feet) on an Indian roadster and various home builts. In my 30s my
road bars were 6" below saddle an my riding position was AFU; in my 40s to

I'm with ya mostly. There are a few set-ups that just really seem to tweak
my wrists something awful though, and they happen randomly enough I live
more or less in constant worry of it happening then setting up a new ride.
It was just weird, with the Clem. I know on paper the albas should work,
The issue I have with the Boscos I think is mostly just a matter of "body
memory" getting in the way for the moment. I confess that (within a certain
reasonable range, of course) I've never been terribly meticulous in my bike
setups, from reach to drop to tt size to what size cogs are on the clu
Mark, the only reason I mention the bar/saddle height relationship thing is
because of my experience using it with the albastaches. The same theory from
the expanded sizing that lets the bars come back at you fast as they come up
thanks to slack head tubes also makes them go away from you fast a
I think comparing the sizing to traditional bike sizes will not be of much
help with the newest Riv bicycles. I normally ride a 58-59cm standard
diamond frame bike, but my Clem, at 52, fits me perfectly. Also, I think

The newest Rivendell Reader had a handy-dandy table breaking down all their
current bikes they should really have on the site somewhere, it's a good,
quick overview for where the different models fall:
