If this is your largest concern, then an AHH is probably not right for you. Especially if you don't have another bike. No matter how great the AHH is, and regardless of whether you are strong enough to keep up with your friends, you will get the nagging feeling that your equipment is holding you back. It's just something that everyone goes through. You'll end up getting another bike. I love my Rivendells (a Rom and a QB), I think they're the bees knees. I take the Rom on club rides and centuries, where I end up being neither the fastest nor the slowest rider. But after years of group riding, including racing, I know that another bike won't make me the fastest or the slowest either.
