Thanks Aaron!
The gears are only meaningful if you know the weight of the rider...
especially on such a long climb. At 265 lbs, I need all the help I can get!
:-D
I'm definitely considering it. Will try my new setup tomorrow; I also put
Randonneur bars to try them out and see if my hands are more
The Sam Hillborne write-up in the last Rivendell Reader indicates the
Sam Hillborne fits up to a 94 PBH. Depending on your personal fit
preferences, the 60cm might or might not work for you. As suggested
by others, talk to the folks at Rivendell. Good luck.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I have abandoned the dream of a Hillborne. I really wanted an orange
one. Oh well.
I'm looking at other options, including, but not limited to the 67cm

want both of my main rides to be double top tube, regard
And for very little more, you can order your AHH painted orange. You can even
have your top tubes painted different colors!

Sorry Seth, it's a 62 ctr to ctr, and its not unloved, just unridden.
That's why it sat on the porch where I would see it every day. Of my
four bikes I love my Rambouillet the most, but the Ebisu gets the most
miles simply by dint of being the commuter-shopper. No point in
riding 3K miles a year

Now you're talking. I am one who really digs the look of two top-
tubes- it has a look that says a bike means business. It's one of
the main reasons I love the Bombadil so much.

NICE! I like those pedals. They remind me of the Odyssey Jim
Cielencki pedals- perfect for a Bombadil.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure only the 69 and
71 feature the double top tube on the AHH.This is from the
Rivendell site:
"Sizes above 67cm have two top tubes. The second/lower top tube adds
strength ... "

Now that's a beauty. Well done. Enjoyed your other pix as well.
Care to comment on it's rigidity? Do you feel the bottom bracket sway

Thanks. I'm 6'5" and 230 # and with me and a large load on the bike
there can be enough sway to get a bit of chain rub when standing. For
me it's not much of an issue. I climb seated most of the time and
seldom carry more than a tool kit and water on the Hilsen. The load
