Had one. Sold it. Want another. Strange how this game works!

Anyways, frame fork or complete. Don't care about Waterford or Toyo.
Let's talk!

Eric, all I've got is encouragement.  My second AHH is in route to me.  Yep. Had one, sold it, want another.  I couldn't make it a whole year without.

Good luck on getting back into the saddle...

Pondero, I remember when you sold your butterscotch Hilsen. I think we had an exchange on Flickr and we both commented about the inevitable regret of parting with it. Glad to see you have another on the way. What color? Do you still have your MAP and Quickbeam?

As the former owner of this Hilsen I can attest to its beauty, more creamsicle than butterscotch though. Damn bosco bars came along though and made the TT feel way too short, so it went to a better home with better weather than we have been having. (I hope).

It's funny as I saw a guy commuting on a Riv-ish style bike with
Albatross-type bars. Looking very comfortable & going very fast. And I
thought...that's how I should of set of my AHH!

So I'm sure I'll score one soon, I have a few projects but now I'll
just have one more!

Thanks!

- Eric

I'm casually on the hunt for a Hillborne to set-up with Albatross bars. It's frustrating because RBW has 60cm 2tt green Hillbornes at a cut price but I just can't spend the money right now. Fortunately it's not like I need another bike. I have my CC set-up SS with Albas and that's fun to ride. I'll more than likely set-up my LHT with Albatross bars sometime after Aug.

Mike, I don't want to steal Eric's thread, but will go ahead and reply and at least give him a bump on the list.

I recall the exchange and thought about it when I realized how much I missed my camping bike.  Still have the MAP (for sale to fund the AHH project) and QB (can't imagine parting with it).  What color?  Not blue.  I'll update the list with photo soon...

Pondero,
I had the same experience selling my Ram frameset. A year later I bought a Roadeo. Riv's have a certain feel in terms of handling and it just doesn't to exist in other makes.

Every time I get on my Ram, I think to myself "this is the best bike I've ever ridden." Then of course, when I take out the Saluki, it's "This bike is the most comfortable bike I've owned." So why is it that I was so eager to get back on the Road last Saturday having not been on it for a few weeks?  :)
