Greetings: I've been lurking here for a while, starting when I was waiting for Riv to send me my new A Homer Hilsen, which arrived in November. It's a 72cm, 2TT version, which is needed to manage my 6'8", 280# frame. It is a fairly standard Riv build (like me, built for comfort, not speed.....), though the wheels are Velocity LX Cliffhangers and the tires are 38mm Schwalbe Duremes, recommended for this "heavy duty" application. I took a couple pictures during its shakedown ride after I assembled it. https://picasaweb.google.com/102411392699939180397/JimSAHHPhotos?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCPXblb_MhoruWw&feat=directlink Since those were taken I added a large Sackville saddle sack and some other commuterish items, and have been mainly riding it between home and town, a 15 mile roundtrip, for commuting to work and shopping. I'm hoping to explore more of the countryside as the weather improves. Home is Boulder, CO, so there is a lot to explore! This is the first new bicycle I've had in 40 years, my other bike is a 1972 Schwinn Super Sport, which I still ride. It hasn't got much use though, since Homer arrived, which shouldn't be much of a surprise. Pics of that bike are here if you are interested: https://picasaweb.google.com/102411392699939180397/SuperSport?authuser=0&feat=directlink I look forward to participating here and getting to know you folks.
