I have never ridden an AHH, but I have a Riv custom which was ordered as a LongLow but changed to custom when Riv started with customs. It´s almost a clone of the Rambouillet which came somewhat later and a little racier than the AHH. I had not intended to tour on it, but did: two twoweek tours with full camping gear with big tent and food and all kitchen gear for four persons. It took it with a smile! Later I bought a Heron Touring (an earlier clone of the Atlantis) and made that my touring rig. Also very nice, but it would be hard to tell the difference. Rivs are versatile!
My guess is that an AHH with firstclass racks would make a wonderfull touring rig, even with a full load. However, if you like them differently set up, buy an Atlantis and be happy.

The simple answer Riv will give is that their touring bikes in that price range are the Atlantis and Hunqapillar, with the new-ish Appaloosa a step down in price. I can't give a review of a loaded AHH but I've owned one, and now have an Appaloosa. They both ride great, with that mysterious "spring" every Riv I've owned (a lot of them) has. My guess is you could get away with loading an AHH the way you describe, but I think you're better off getting one Grant designed for the riding you want to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
