Michael, my Trek is an early 610, and it was a fun re-build. I used
the "go for it" method used in the video, but I'll admit I have a long
history of applying stickers and such. I may try the wet method next
time, but I'm somewhat skeptical. Let us know how it works out, and of
course post some pic

Call Rivendell and ask them what they think. If I'm not mistaken there
was talk a while back that the next batch of Sam Hillbornes would
include some 64s. Definitely call Rivendell.

Love RE cycles and feel fortunate to have them within driving, or
riding, distance. They are great for when you need that one piece to

If you fit well on a 64cm Bombadil, you'd probably want a 64cm
Hillborne as well.The 64 Hillborne won't be as tall as the 64
Bomba because of the lower bottom bracket height and smaller tires.
I've also heard that Rivendell has 64cm Hillbornes planned. Otherwise
you can't go wrong with an AHH
Excellent feedback. Thank you. I would have the Hilson hands down,
were the funds available. I've always wanted an AAH!
I too am concerned I will feel cramped on the 60cm Sam. But the 64cm
Bomba is definitely a little big for me...in fact, I could have easily

Consensus is the best were by the linked German company. The chain

On my Hilsen I have xt hubs and Salsa Delgado rims. In fact, I have
these rims on two bikes and absolutely no complaints. I think Mavic
makes a similar rim--the A17 or something. The Salsa rims are
inexpensive and hold up well.

On Mon,
Checked the Riv website, and looked at the geometry of the Hillborne
and Bombadil. The 60 Bomba is listed for PBH "...up to 95". My guess
is the 60cm Hillborne will fit you, but might feel and look at the
smallish end of the spectrum.
FWIW, I'm shorter (6') and ride the 56 quite comfortably. Wi
