Great lookin' bike, Matt. I gotta admit, I'm liking the new Sam green a lot
more in the owner photos that have been posted than in the preliminary ones
on the site. I'd love to see one in person. Enjoy both of your new bikes!

Benzzoy,
Yah I took another look at the color of my AHH and the AHH on the
flickr link I posted and i started comparing more closely.
You are right, the colors are not exactly the same. The color of my
AHH is more of a silver-green..whereas the AHH on the flickr link, the
green is a shade darker
"More of a silver-green" did it. I'll take it!

One of the main streets in my neighborhood has just been repaved.
That's repaved, not the far more common re-surfacing/chip sealing.
It is remarkably refreshing and evokes a certain nostalgia to ride on an

I think you are right. Fat cushy tires may be a requirement to ride
deteriorated roads that cannot be repaved at the moment. Maybe there will
be more bicycles out there due to the economics. I see more bicycle riders

Well, technically, it's paid for..it's not here yet. I bought Rocky's AHH.
My first/only Riv was a Romulus I bought new in '03 (wow, I can't believe

blue color much. It was a "this is the only Riv I can afford" purchase

One addition to my little saga: A few months ago I picked up an Electra
Amsterdam sort-of-a-dutch bike. It's a slightly less radical (geometry-wise)
version of their Townie Crank Forward bikes, a type of bike that was

Sounds like a fun trip. I don't know the routes in Marin as well as

Yeah, but I got "tadpole" first time out in a similar context. Shoulda seen
"delta" coming.
If your AHH is anything like the somewhat-spritelier somewhat-normal-er
Hillborne experience I'd expect it to be, you will have no buyer's regret.
Color notwithstanding. Enjoy!
