I'm in the same boat as you, Norman. I got into biking in 2008, quickly found out about Rivendell, and bought a Hillborne in 2009. While I was lusting over an AHH, I was happy with my purchase and have been riding it ever since. I recently swapped from Noodles to Wavie bars and have a new appreciation for the bike. Haha, I've recently had fleeting thoughts of swapping out Noodles on my Roadini to upright bars!
Just curious, is the sea green a repaint? Or did you buy the bike that way? My frame is chipped and scratched a million times over....I've been thinking about a nice refresh.
