I did a 100k ride on my Hilsen today. Currently it's sporting SKS fenders, Schwalbe Marathons (35s) and MKS Sneaker Pedals. I used this bike for so many different kinds of riding from fast(ish) road rides, brevets, bike camping, gravel/dirt road rides, and even touring. It's just a great bike. It's at its weakest as a touring bike. I think I've enjoyed it the most on long rambling road rides with maybe a dirt road thrown in here or there. I've really been enjoying riding it with platform pedals since last summer. I'll maybe even keep it that way for good now that I have a dedicated rando bike in the works.
Probably one of my all time favorite Rivs is Grant's AHH. The bike looks like it's put to good used, well loved but not pampered. I loved how on the RBW website under staff bikes it's described as "a clipper ship of beauty". --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
