I wore my Rivendell hat proudly, sported my Rivendell PA panniers, a basket, Noodle bar, leather seat, lugged stem, but alas... did not ride any of my Rivendells. I packed in a hurry on a Saturday afternoon and left on Sunday morning. No time to fit my Atlantis with lights.
My plan included wrappin up the week with a gravel century in central Iowa called the Guitar Ted Death Ride Invitational and this was the bike I wanted to ride. This week of touring included many firsts for my, worthy of a full write-up. The bike was great, proved to be amazingly versatile, fabulously comfortable, and is a favorite on the gravel. It wasn't designed with the purpose of touring, but managed okay, similar to the way that my custom All-Rounder handles the load.. a bit "noodley." The Atlantis will most certainly be the bike of choice for future touring adventures. I don't have many photos, here's one of the bike loaded on my way north on Friday evening to connect up for the Saturday morning gravel adventure. <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N0uy2H_GAEE/TjWsq39HBKI/AAAAAAAADLc/x6be1qcyyPw/IMG_1106%25255B1%25255D.JPG> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
