Check the Web Specials page pronto. They cut some prices temporarily to clear 
out a room that has a water leak (it didn't get the bikes).

2017-08-12 Thread Garth

The one that fit best. Without a great fit, the feeling of "being the bike and 
the bike be me", the rest does not matter.  With a great fit, the rest does not 
matter either. Such a bike is pure joy in motion, where you go or how you get 
here is an afterthought, the ride IS the destination. 

It would sound great and logical and all if I told you there was a way "to" 
this, as if it too was a destination, but that would be like explaining a joke, 
and explanations are never the real thing. No one need tell us how to 
experience, since we are it and it us.  So having said all that, you're good to 
go as you are, and that ironically reveals the destination that was to be.

Is Rivendell even taking AHH orders now? I seem to recall an email saying they 
were putting a pause on the Waterford bikes until the wait times were under 
comtrol. 

I'd get the Sam for the riding you describe. It is a bit more versatile, much 
less expensive, and yet the quality on the bikes I have seen is excellent. The 
AHH strikes me as the defining Rivendell of the early 2000s. 

Good luck! 

Cheers!
Chris

Pertaining to Patrick's comment, "it's available now", there's an 8-month wait 
on AHH right now because of a tubing supply issue. I vote Sam.

AHH top tube is near horizontal, SH top tube slopes up.
AHH is significantly more expensive. Grant has written that they are 
functionally equivalent.
If your in Santa Clara run up to Walnut Creek and check them out at RBW WHQ. 
Well worth the trip.

2017-08-11 Thread Paul Choi
I'm new to Rivendell bikes and to this forum. I'm considering a SH or AHH. 
This would be a all-around bike that used for commuting, light touring and 
some occasional off road riding. These bikes seem similar. 

Can you tell me the differences of these two bikes?

For those of you that have both - your feedback would be really 
appreciated. 

Paul in Santa Clara, CA.
