I was passing through Confluence Park this morning when I spotted a shiny new AHH parked in the shade along Cherry Creek. I ended up having a great conversation with its owner, Paul, while siting under the trees. He's a 69 year old fellow, who is recovering from a pretty severe car accident that has left him with some serious pain and immobility in his right leg, as well as some damage to his back. Anyway, he's a longtime rider and after the accident, he realized he was unable to ride his beloved Waterford road bike (with chrome lugs) anymore. He just ordered and received this AHH a month or so ago, and by all accounts he loves it! The Alba bars and B.68 make for a more comfortable ride than his road bike, and he's now able to get out regularly. When he ordered the bike he was expecting a lot of back and forth regarding fit, and was thoroughly amazed that Keven and Mark delivered such a well fitting bike with only his PBH.
His was a gorgeous and spotless bike with a standard Riv build, including the new Longboard fenders. I was riding my Quickbeam that suddenly seemed disgustingly dirty and a bit ratty. I might take his advice and clean it, even though I assured him that while I'll win no beauty awards, my bikes are always in tiptop mechanical shape :). Paul got to check out my SaddleSack , Platrack, and dynohub. He was pretty impressed at the quality of materials and craftsmanship in the saddlebag (as am I). And I got to check out the Soma B-Lines on his bike, which I've been pretty keen to see. He turned me onto a great LBS I didn't know about and we got to talk bikes for a good long while. If you're in the Denver area, keep and eye out for Paul and his AHH. Super nice fella... Here's his bike... http://tinyurl.com/3hfwqgh -Jay B. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
