With a quality slick road tire such as the Schwalbe Kojak, the AHH
will be a perfect century rider if dropping the carbon biker is not
your goal.
Swap those for something with a little more tread and the AHH becomes
the perfect on and moderate off road camper.
IMO, stick with the Hilsen.

Hello,
You should make sure the folks at riv see this email. It needs to be
filed under 'testimonials'.
Stick with the hilsen, but maybe also try out the roadeo to see what
you think of it as a go-fast road bike.

Good point.
Maybe a Velocity Dyad 36 spoke with Phil Wood and wide range cassette
for the camping and fire trail riding and a something along the line
of a Velocity Synergy 32 spoke with smooth rolling White Ind. hubs and
a reasonable road range cassette.

I have noodles on my bombadil for exactly that reason.I think the
bullmoose bars would be good for mountian bike riding where you're
probably not going to be out all day.But on the other hand, I
don't think anyone would disagree that the 46/48cm noodles are sweet
off-road.

Welcome to the group, René. What a great story.
It seems like, above all, you are asking the right questions.
I'd say that the AHH is one of the more versatile of Grant's designs. I've
raced cyclocross with mine, used it for commuting, mixed-terrain riding,
done a brevet and a century on it
Thank you all for such great feedback!
My only concern with taking the AHH off-road, is that I still weigh around
265 lbs, but am working on that as I said. I will be rereading all these
responses and checking out the wheel/tire combinations as well as
considering the handlebars that were also

Is there an optimal terrain/weight combination for AHH? Might want to speak to
the folks at Riv.

Yes, Rene, this is an amazing resourceful group. One of the best I have ever
had the privilege to belong. I learn so much from these folks, and the site
that Jim Edgars maintains is very helpful, not to mention interesting.

not a racer, not a club rider, just interested in metric centuries,
centuries and eventually as I loose weight and gain fitness, longer
rides?
A resounding yes...

Rene -- Welcome! Great looking bike. If you can wait a few extra days, bunch
of Riv owners are going on a ride November 22. You could probably get all your
questions answered then. Hope you can make it. I'll forwrd the thread link.

Hi René, what a great bike you have! My All-Rounder is basically an AHH w/
cantis, and yes, I could use that bike for all my cycling needs.
That said, it sounds like you like bikes a lot and are used to having
multiple bikes. I would hold off on selling the Roubaix for a while until
you can
That's true. I ride my Atlantis and Quickbeam, both with drop bars, on trails
and gravel/dirt roads quite often. The Atlantis wears 700x35, the 'Beam has
700x32s. For fast road rides, I take my bare bones Romulus. it has 700x28s.
There is a group that rides trails with road bikes, lots of
