I own a Boulder RS and a Rivendell Homer Hilsen. They are very different bikes. The Boulder has skinny lightweight tubing (7-4-7 tt) and planes very well for me. The Hilsen has OS tubing with thicker diameters, and is more difficult to plane. I use the Hilsen, fitted with 40mm tires, primarily on gravel/ dirt roads It's a very durable bike and will certainly outlive me. Durability seems very important to Grant and his frames reflect that.
The bottom line is I enjoy both bikes and each has it's place. For fast asphalt riding I use the Boulder Road Sport. I only wish it could fit wider tires >32mm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
