[RBW] Re: It's getting to be that time of year again: Time to order stuff from Rivendell

It must have been a really good 2 weeks for Rivendell. I remember the recent Blahg post that said how few packages were being shipped in a day - was it 20? We certainly upped that number; it really helped that the Nitto Basket Rack came back in stock (I got one for my Clem L, too) and then

Cheers Paul, and thanks for the photos! Yes the knobby tire version is quite capable, I took it on a variety of trails (nothing too extreme, but plenty of roots and a few rocks) and it felt great, though I was wishing I heeded the advise to run side-pull brakes on it. Unfortunately, it rains

[RBW] Re: New vs. old Homer geometry, ride characteristics

Precisely what I was getting at, yes. That's why I thought it would be really interesting to hear how each version of the AHH felt, from someone fortunate enough to ride both. I bet the new version is more comfortable, but I'm curious if the sporty-ness of the bike feels any different. On

[RBW] Re: New vs. old Homer geometry, ride characteristics

Jason I think it is common to look at Rivendells and assume they are poor riding bikes based purely on the looks. Even though it is common, I think it is a mistake. I think it is also a mistake to assume that Bike X and a Long Haul Trucker should ride the same because they have similar

Thanks for the feedback, my 'question' was what those who've ridden both thought about the ride differences, specifically around the long stays. I know that as unconventional as they are, Grant knows what he's doing and had good reason to do it - but I felt that those reasons might not apply as

Jason, That's a wild rough-stuff setup on your Hilborne! As an owner of both a Hilborne and an older model Hilsen, both are wonderful bikes. You would not fit 48's on the latter, though. I use my Hillborne as a fendered tourer with 35 mm tires because of the (slightly) stiffer tubing. The

If you want fast road riding, the Homer isn’t going to ride much different than the Sam (in my experience with bigger sizes of both models, anyway). The Rambouillet I have feels quite a bit more lively than my Waterford Homer did, set up with the same wheelset and 38mm compass tires. Honestly
