You will love it. I have owned mine for i think has been 3 years + now. It is

When I first ordered it and was going through the build with Mark I wanted to
put the Rolly Polly tires on it. Mark said that the frame

cheap fix if it works.
Also, it never hurts (well, maybe a little) to strengthen the core muscles with
sit-ups, planks, cobras, etc. Riding a bike doesn't really do much for these
important muscle groups, and it

Still trying to sell my AHH. I've decided to try selling as a mostly
complete bike (complete bike minus crank, pedals, saddle, seatpost and
chain). I thought this might make it more affordable for those without
a treasure trove of parts laying around and I think it is a pretty good
spec.

Based on this picture, I would suggest dropping your seat about a
centimeter. Tight hamstrings can cause lower back pain when your leg
extends too far.

IIRC in the larger sizes( 57cm?) the Rodeo and Hilsen have the same tubing. I
believe this was mentioned when I was at RBW. The difference is in the geo and
braze ons.
