Choices. They are wonderful but come with the cost of having to decide. Lucky
for you that all the choices sound like winners.
Regarding the 55cm/700c Hilsen, I agree that they are available, Keven at Riv
offered it as an anternative to the 54cm/650b, which i choose instead. I
suspect the
For what it's worth, a few people (including Mile at Riv, and me) have run
700c wheels with skinny tires and short reach sidepull brakes on the 650B A
Homer Hilsen. I did it just for fun, for a few weeks, and I keep the 700c
wheelset around as an option. Since you are tearing down another
That's like a backwards version of my Riv Road: designed for 700c/short
reach brakes, fits 700x28 max. with long reach brakes, fits 650x38.
Makes sense, I guess, since the Hilsen is the scion of the Road Standard
Rambouillet geometry.

Change of heart and will try the 650b route. I just need to decide which
bike to get, the Hilsen or the Hillborne, but I will ask this is another
thread. Thanks for everyone's input as it help me rethink my decision.

The Sam would be a great choice but to get the 650B you would need to go with
the 51 size which might be a tiny bit on the small size. The 52 would be a
better choice which is no longer available so you would need to go used. Since
you wanted to save some money that might not be an issue and
I know this bike is rare but there were one or two for sale on this board
in the last few years. A. Homer Hilsen 55 cm with 700c wheel size. Looking
for frame and fork since I have almost everything else.
Not interested in the 650b version yet, though it may come to this.

FYI the two for sale may have been the same bike. I bought one the list a
few years ago and then sold it on the list this spring. I think there were
only a half a dozen or so 55cm AHHs made.

There must've been more than a half-dozen 700c 55s made, since it is a size
you can order right now at the same price as any other size.

William that is not what it states on the Riv site.
47-50-52-54-56-58 are for 650B wheels.
57-59-61-63-65-67-69-71 are for 700c wheels.
Plus if I wanted new frame, I would have not posted here looking for a used
one. A new one for me, is $2300 plus 75.00 shipping to an American address,
Any reason why you want 700c on a smaller frame?
I have a 700c 57 Hilsen and there's barely enough clearance for a large
saddlesack + R14 rack.

Yes, blakcloud, I assumed you were asking because you wanted a used one at
a fair used price. I pointed out that you can order one from Riv just to
dispute the assertion that very few of them were ever made. Even though
the text on the description page does not list a 55, I know that they
Christopher that is a good question. I am trying to keep costs down and I
have a bike that I can transfer over 95% of the parts which includes a
great set of wheels.
As for carrying anything, I use a porteur rack with a Wald basket plus if I
need extra carrying power I use my Burley Travoy
