FS: 58cm A Homer Hilsen, 650b wheels and tires

[Jeff Lesperance]

For sale is my 58cm A Homer Hilsen that I picked up from fellow listmate Bill Lindsay in August of last year. He reported that he had bought this new from Riv in 11/2010, and I've owned it now for about a year. I'm selling it because the AHH is/was my holy grail bike and I was planning on buying a new one when this one came available from Bill, and I've found it's a bit too small for me. I've made it work, but for a grail bike, I want it to be perfect, so I'm going to sell this one in look to invest in a new Riv that fits me right.

I'm selling the frame/fork/headset and I have a couple 650b wheelsets and tires to sell as well.

This frame is a beauty but not a beauty queen - Bill was not afraid to get it dirty and neither have I, and we both put a few scrips and scrapes in the paint. The most noticeable is on the driveside seatstay and fork leg where there's noticeable scratches, paint transfer and a paint chip or two.

I've taken some pictures of questionable quality that can be found here: https://goo.gl/photos/7RMp4nxU5Jv4Anmg6

I'd like to get $1200 + shipping (expected via bike flights) for F/F/HS

The 650b wheelsets and tires I have for sale are:

* Deore / WTB silver hubs laced to black machined side wall Velocity Synergy 32 hole rims. I picked these up from Bill with the AHH: $150 + shipping

* Shimano Tiagra / Novatec Dyno hubs laced to polished Velo Orange rims: $150 +shipping

* Compass Babyshoe Pass 650x42 tires - maybe 150 miles on these tires - sidewalls are dirty but tread shows no wear: $85 shipped

* Panaracer Col de la Vie - wire bead -0 used but tread and sidewalls look nearly new - sidewalls say these are 40-584 but my recollection is they measure around 38mm mounted: $35 shipped

* Schwalbe Kojak wire bead, new, with labels attached, listed at 35-584 and 27.5x1.35 on the sidewall - I've not mounted these - $40 shipped

* Nifty Swifty speedblend 650bx34 - wire bead - these show minimal tread wear but the sidewalls are showing some age - $15 shipped

I'm happy to work with local pickup and possibly delivery in the DC Metro area and I'll entertain offers and combine shipping in some way if you buy multiple items. 

Paypal preferred

Compass and speedblend tires are spoken for as well as the tiagra/dyno wheelset.

Both wheelsets are now claimed (along with the Compass and speedblend tires)

My AHH and the Col de la Vie and Kojak tires are still available. I'm ready to move on and make a final decision on buying another Riv that will fit me better sooner than later and though I can't give the frame away, I'm happy to reduce the price to see if it helps get it into one of your homes so I it can be ridden instead of collecting dust in my basement.

I'll drop my price on the 58 AHH down to $1000 +shipping via Bikeflights, and if you're interested in the tires I'll include them with the frame. I'll otherwise drop the price on the tires to $25 shipped per pair if you're not buying the frameset.
