The AHH and Saluki are the same bike, (as are the Romulus and Rambouillet) so
it's really a choice between two. I ride a 50 cm Saluki (with GB 35 mm
Oursons) and a 52 cm Ram (with 559 x 37 Paselas), and the geometry is different
enough to matter despite both bikes having the same TT length and about the
same stand over. For touring, the Saluki is more comfortable for me, and is the
one I'll use in mid October for a 3 day solo cruise on a section of the
Mississippi River Trail.

Subject: [RBW] Re: AHH, Romulus, or Saluki for Randonneuring?
In 2007 I road the Grend Bois 30mm tire on my Rambouillet, they fit but barely.
I got my first flat ever on a brevet using these tires but overall I liked
them. For PBP I was able to get a pair of 28mm Grand Bois tires. 4 flats and
one of the tires ended up in a garbage can on route. I finished the ride with
an old Ruffy Tuffy that I was carrying for a spare on the rear. This may not
have been a fair test due to the weather and the roads (which seem to have a
lot of small sharp stone shards). But 4 flats in the rains really is not fun.
I may try the tires again but many people have also reported these to be flat
prone. They also may not be the correct tire for a 210 pound rider.
