surely the AHH will continue! we already know that Waterford has made the 700c version and Toyo the 650B... now that Toyo Japan is not going to be building for Rivendell, maybe Waterford WILL be making all sizes. i've talked recently with Grant about getting either a Hilsen or a Rodeo (or a full custom), and never did he mention that i'd better hurry up and get the AHH before it's gone. One thing i -did- notice in the new 2010 catalog pd is that the Hillborne is listed as being like the Hilsen, but $1500 less. last time i looked, the AHH was $2000 and the Hillborne $1000. maybe Grant was letting us know the price on the AHH is soon to go up? speaking of the AHH and the Rodeo, does anyone have any info on how much more the AHH frame/fork weighs versus the Rodeo? i know the Rodeo is mention as 'sub-20 pounds' (not counting pedals or saddle) when done the 'Mark' way for racing. Racing is NOT something i'll be doing, so the 'heavy' (so to speak) Rodeo is what i would be considering. i am just curious as to how much more a comparable AHH would weigh over a Rodeo. 2 lbs? more?? does anyone have that info? i am grateful for Grant and his entire crew, not only for the wonderful bikes and parts they supply, but for their way of doing business. it's obvious they think of more than just themselves and their own needs (i'm thinking of the charities they support here), and i appreciate that. i have followed Rivendell for years (from Bridgestone days forward) and have bought gear here and there, but i have YET to buy a frame or full bike from Rivendell. 2010 will be the year. i committed this to myself and to Rivendell by getting my deposit in on the 31st of December. Now i just have to decide WHICH frame to buy. ;-) -kim
