I'm loving all of these Homer photos. I've owned 5 Riv's and currently have 3 in the rotation. The Homer is a favorite for me. I'm already planning a change to mine. I'm going to change the shifters from down tube to Campy brifters shifting to Shimano 8 speed a-la Ronnie Romance. I'll provide updates as I make the change over.

Re: [RBW] Re: A. Homer Hilsen Photo Thread
I was on a ride with Paul at the Nutmeg Nor'Easter. I asked him how he liked his AHH. He emphatically replied, "this is the best bike in the world"!! Three years later I have an AHH of my own. Paul was right. On Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 10:04:11 PM UTC-4 [email protected] wrote: > Paul has neglected to share the beautiful patina that his bronze headbadge > has acquired.

Paul has neglected to share the beautiful patina that his bronze headbadge has acquired. Trust me, it's really good!

[RBW] Re: A. Homer Hilsen Photo Thread
Here is an admittedly "vanilla" picture of an excellent bike. This is my 63cm N=2 (!) Toyo Homer that I just built up from a frameset this weekend. It arrived in immaculate condition - thanks for the careful packing Matt! I've had a 64cm Atlantis for a very long time, and decided I want to try being a 2-bike person, up from just one for the last decade or so. This will be my "roadie" and commuter, while the Atlantis will be a more trails and bike-packing ride with fat knobbies, etc. Still rebuilding the Atlantis and need a few parts to get it finished up. Thought I had an albastache but the seller hasn't contacted me since Saturday. Also need to add my $.02 to the trading/scammer conversation to say this: I have had nothing but excellent interactions with members of this group and this latest frame purchase was no exception. I bought the frame and brakes and it all arrived quickly and as advertised. The brakes were the nutted version, still in the box and I figured the seller just didn't know. Well, a few days later Matt writes to say he sent the wrong brakes by mistake and shipped me the proper brakes. Truly an excellent guy, thanks for looking.
