Thanks for clearing this up. Double thanks for your committment to

Sorry folks, i guess i was under the impression that all AHH's were

one no less! (phd graduation present in ~8 yrs?)

will waterford build 650b version of AHH as well, or will the smaller
sizes get 700c instead?

Hmmm. I have a 63cm Hilsen that I could swear is made by Toyo. It
doesn't really matter to me who made it, the bike is great. I'm glad
it's staying in the line-up.

Mine, a 63cm, has three water bottle mounts and is the Toyo blue as
opposed to the softer blue of the Waterford Hilsens. I don't think
Grant's statement is entirely accurate. I think there was a thing in
the reader that had the introduction for the Hilsen that said they
were being made at both
Racers, and apparently the
polishing machine at Paul broke. Sigh

I am not positive that the Rivendell bikes always follow this- but I
think the Waterford frames have serial numbers that begin with a
single letter, from [A-M] (excluding 'I') followed by 5 digits.The
letter represents the month it was made, from A=January to M=December,
with no letter 'I'.
When I bought my 61cm AHH in September, I was also offered the choice of
Toyo or Waterford. I chose the Waterford one just because I liked the
lighter colored blue better. As far as I know, the color is a sure give-away
of the origin of the bike. Ligher blue = Waterford, darker blue = Toyo.

The easy way to tell is by the rear dropouts. The Waterford dropout
is very distinct style and it clearly has WATERFORD stamped on it. The
serial number sequence is consistent with all Waterford built frames.
My 59cm Waterford AHH had mounts for only two bottles.
