And I guess that I'd rather see them deliver short, sold-out runs of
Rambouillets (and Hilsens, Bombadils or Atlantii, for that matter), if it
lets RBW keep cash-nimble enough to swing the run of more affordable models
for '09.

Obviously, Rivendell bikes are evolving. That's a good thing. The Ram
is a great bike, but I think Grant sees the AHH as being able to do
anything the Ram can do. I really doubt the difference in either
bike's ability to be a "real" road bike is significant. It's all a
matter of perspective. Lots
How much difference can there be in weight and wheelbase between a Ramboullet
and an AHH?
Just curious.

base and is
just that bit heavy to be a real ro

much vibration the rider feels, less noticeable on smooth surfaces.

Well said! It also really depends on what style of riding you prefer.
As I like to go mostly light touring or do long distance weekend rides
on the road the Ram gets my vote. It's a plus that it can deal with
the dirt when I feel so inclined. The journey of the Crane Bros
