I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve in 2009 at age 61. I was at Ironman fitness level at the time of surgery. My surgeon told me I'd probably see a 15% boost in endurance after surgery, which I think was accurate. I presently do not feel any restrictions to hard effort (other

FS: AHH - 63cm I am selling my A Homer Hilsen which I purchased from a forum member in 2010. It has had very little use. The bike has probably been ridden less than 1000 miles. It is in very good condition, showing some beausage. This bike has been replaced by a custom Bruce Gordon.

I’ll jump into the Rohloff discussion with a few of my data points: I have two Dean bikes with Rohloffs, a mtb and a randonneur. My mtb is a 29er and weighs 36# with dual suspension and S couplers while my rando weighs 31# with fenders over 32mm tires, dyno hub, S couplers and f/r lights.

Thanks for pointing that out Bill. I carefully measured CTC again and came out with 24.75 which translates to 63. It also looks like my asking price is too high so, my new price is $1800 + shipping. Ray On Sunday, August 17, 2014 12:43:48 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: It's probably

Gregg, I have a 64cm A Homer Hilsen and with my 92 PBH, it's showing minimal seatpost (lots of room for taller riders). If you're interested at all, I'll send more details. Ray Foss Lisbon, CT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

I rode Banff to Whitefish on the Great Divide last year. Beautiful territory with some steep hills! I rode my Bridgestone XO-3 with 1.7 inch knobbies and had no problems. And V-brakes were fine. I even think my touring bike with 37's would have been fine for 98% of the trail. That said, I'll
