I believe that the atlantis and bombadil are very different bicycles, for a variety of reasons--the geometries have significant differences, and while a mountain bike has advantages in certain loaded touring situations it hardly seems the refined bicycle that really made the atlantis a standout. I also can't imagine how an AHH could be a substitute for the heavy touring machine that is the Atlantis.
Again, I'm hoping this is all just a misprint, and that the bikes are still available from Riv. I'm sure someone in the know will contribute soon enough. best, erik On Sat, Jan 3, 2009 at 2:00 PM, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery < thill....@gmail.com> wrote: > > I don't like to self-promote too much, but...I have a 68 Atlantis from > a recent production run in stock.
