Congratulations! 700C or 650B? Both are just perfect for the respective sizes.

Anyway, yes, put Frame Saver on. There's no reason not to use it!

I just got my A.H.H. frame (Yay!) and will be building it up soon. Is frame saver needed? What about other frame prep like chasing bottom bracket threads? Thanks for any tips!

I doubt you'll have to worry about chasing bottom bracket threads.
Framesaver is good
Check the derailiuer hanger .. Not a must but can sabe time later

Then have a blast .. I usually hang the bike from an old seat post till I've put the first scratch on it then go. Ack to clamping top tube seat tube etc as mood suits me. Hmmm maybe that is one of the reasons my bikes get so scared, my lack of gentle handling. :)

Have fun and post photos

Congrats on the frame! You're gonna love it.

You don't have to chase the threads. RBW does this before the frame leaves HQ. See 00:45.

The good people at RBW may have even frame-savered it for you using Boeshield or something like that. I know for customs and early Waterford rivs they did this.
 
Congrats...those AHH frames look awfully nice
 
Merry Christmas and happy 2013 riding for all whether you ride a riv or not:)
