I'm another vote for the Gravel Grinder 700x38s. I've got a few hundred miles
of pavement and mixed surface on mine, they're still going strong. (I'll be
running a new pair at Dirty Kanza this year.)

Two points:
1. Definitely use Orange Seal. I've had much better results for initial setup
with it than Stans; also, doesn't create boogers in your tires after time
(unlike Stans).
2. HED Belgium C2+ is another wide, rim braking rim that works well. More
expensive than the Pacentis, but I've ha

Hyperbole, sure, but the drum GP has been beating for decades (better tire
clearance, too much emphasis on racing, etc.) has finally turned into a product
"category" that may save the industry from itself.
Just see the latest by Guitar Ted:

Thanks Jon,
It's certably been a struggle. Thankfully, I've still got another bike to ride.
Best,

Well, you're kind of talking about two different things:
1. I think the Shutter Precision (SP) vs the SON is a tough choice. I
ultimately chose the SP and couldn't be happier. I've got thousands of miles on
my first one, and it's still going strong. It's lighter, less drag, and more

Hey folks,
My Hilsen has carried me many places, but now it's being called upon to
help me complete the last of the repairs from the flood damage I had here
in Boulder, Colorado (pro tip: don't buy a home one month and get flooded
the next). I bought this one in early 2009, so it has the expec
Update: Second ride on mine, this weekend, was 114 miles. Incredibly
comfortable, and no problems in bike shorts.

Hey folks, FYI, I'm posting this elsewhere for a different price, so this offer

Looking forward to seeing pictures and tales from everyone's rides!
I've got lots of fun plans for 2013:
Commuting to & from Broomfield on a regular basis (13 miles one-way), then
catching the bus the rest of the way to Denver for work;
Anti-Epic Gravel Grinder in late-April;
Various Rocky Mount
Jim - sorry to hear about this! Let me know if you'd like to go out with
another Homer when you're feeling up to it.

Near-freezing temperatures have me putting off my New Year's Day ride until
this weekend. *grin*
Hope everyone had a great time - happy new year!

Jim,
Looks like I'll have to add some studs to my tire collection. The thing about
Boulder is the snow/ice usually melts within a day or two, so that makes for a
lot of wrestling tires on and off.
Glad to see you're enjoying Marin!

I wanted to do an after-Xmas ride here in Boulder, but the several inches of

I'm going to follow Jim Thill's lead and apologize for posting a non-Riv bike
(but one that's set up very Riv-ish). This is also part of my ongoing
make-space/thin-the-bike-herd. And it's an amazing deal! I'm offering it to

Sounds like a great life and great riding! When are you thinking of doing GDMBR?
And that climb up Doi Suthep is super fun! I did it last year on a rented rigid
mountain bike. Would have preferred my Hilsen, but the best bike is the one
you're riding.

A friend described my Hilsen setup as the "full Grant," and that's basically
true in the cockpit: Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem, Nitto Mustache handlebars, a
two-bolt Nitto seatpost, and a Rivet Cycles Pearl saddle (which is awesome, by
the way). Tektro/Silver brakes.

Michael,
I have a 700 Hilsen.
As a side note, don't be afraid to follow Riv sizing conventions. I'm 5'8", 30"
inseam, not oddly proportioned, and I ride a 61cm. And I'm riding clipless with
my cleats shoved all the way back in the slot, so my saddle height isn't
artificially high.

I have, and love, an A. Homer Hilsen. I bought it when I was 27, and four
years later it's still the best ride I've ever had. I've commuted on it,
ridden it 200 miles in a day on gravel roads, climbed over Lee Hill Road in
Boulder (just like the USA Pro Cycling Challenge!...Uh, only slower), a
After a bit of soul-searching (and moving to a smaller apartment), I've
decided that it's time for my 60cm Quickbeam to find a new home where it
will get ridden more. It's one of the original green ones, purchased in
August 2004. It has...almost no original parts. :-)
