Don't have a Hilsen, but have a Sam Hillborne. Also 220 (this year. Last year was about 240 when the bike arrived.) No problems at all.
Now, the SH is a bit stouter built than the AHH. So there may be a slight difference. However, I don't think you'll have a problem. If you purchased through Rivendell and Grant and/or Keven gave to okay (or kave the gokay) then it should be good.
