I thought I had my AHH all figured out... thought it was a Toyo build,
but now, reading this post, I guess it's a Waterford build? Is there
any way of knowing definitively? If I email Riv with my serial no.
can they tell me or is there some place else where this info. might be
posted? Not that i
I must say i think both colors are nice blues.
I think the darker blue is a bit more unusual, This blue is of medium
value, certainly not dark, still light enough to clearly see the lug
lines, yet dark enough to provide a nice (but not to heavy) contrast
with the cream accents. In fact I think thi
Now that I'm pedalling free on multiple bikes, I'm tempted to geek out
and get custom Adidas Sambas for each bike:

I've already got a blue and white one with A.H.Hilsen embroidery in my
shopping cart. That would be super saucy. I guess I should get the
bike before the shoes, th
Maybe the only way to end this is to have Riv decide for me!
Soup or salad...it's a tough choice!

I saw one coming at me the other day. That blue is pretty deep, but
still very "blue," if that makes sense.

The original blue had some sort of sparkle to as well. It was not
apparent inside or under overcast skies. In sunlight the paint really

I will second that, pictures on the web do not do the color of the
Hilsen justice. There are details that you need to se in person, and

shock you with delight. - Rob

Eric,
I was curious with the same exact question when ordering my AHH. Most

My obsersevation is that the currently produced Waterford Hilsens are
a slightly lighter shade of blue than the Toyo built version. Of
course this all via Flickr pictures and the quality of the photo is
always a factor in that. Either one would be perfect in my book!
