Chris,
I agree the old Hunga colors are amazing, I really like a paint job with lug lining. That Pashley is beautiful, and reasonably priced. I will probably myself look for an old steel framed bike as a back up like a Trek or Univega at some point, I of course have to get that passed by my better half. I purchased the tires from http://www.compasscycle.com/tires.html. Thanks for the compliment I scoured Flicker for what I thought looked good and this is what I came up with, though I'll probably buy another set of tires so I have some research to do. As far as sensible goes life is short and wanting a really great bicycle that get's you out of a car, and has health benefits is a small price to pay, of course being financially responsible is important too:) I smile every time I look at a Riv bicycle. Don't know if you saw my post about where I live? I'm up in Sunland, not too far from Big Tungunja Canyon. Let me know when you'd like to do a short ride. I'm out of shape since I've been off a bike for a while. Cheers, Hugh Sunland, Ca [email protected] 323-627-7755 -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 06:25 PM.

Re-posting:Hugh, To answer what I'm using as my main bike right now, I have a Pashley Guvnor http://www.pashley.co.uk/products/guvnor.html Really cool bike and very fun to ride. Hate to get rid of it but that's about the only way I could swing an AHH. I work in town and I use it to commute. Also have a 1984 Univega that has been restored and it's a good bike for trips to the store and whatnot. It's a good frame with a patchwork of so so components. I could spend some money making that my Riv and no doubt that would be the cost-effective and sensible route but I know that I'll still pine for the real deal. If I look at a bike and I smile every time I see it, that's how I know it's for me. That's with Rivendells do for me. They make me smile and want to drop whatever I'm doing and ride. Yeah that black AHH is really cool but yours with the white tires is magnificent. Excellent taste. Do they sell those tires? I didn't see them on their page. Actually I would like a build pretty much like yours sans fenders. But I kinda like the old Hunga colors on an AHH, that might look really cool. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
