I submit the following as evidence that the Atlantis can really do it all:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/28720...@n02/3054501471/in/set-72157609908249398/ IIRC, he has 3 sets of wheels: A standard touring set for most of his riding; a set for the big honkin' snow tires (yes, you can fill in the chainstays on an Atlantis!) and a set for CX racing. Not to be missed are the photos of S24O aborted due to Alaskan weather. My Atlantis has been in transit to a tour for a week now (separation anxiety!) so I've been riding my ancient MTB w/street tires. It's really a pretty good ride and I'm much more comfortable leaving it locked up at the store or library for a while. So, OK, I'll make it 2 bikes. dougP On Sep 9, 10:06 pm, JimD <[email protected]> wrote: > Well I guess one bike might fill my needs but I don't think it would > take care of my desires. > > ;>) > > -JimD > > On Sep 8, 2009, at 3:46 PM, Chilli wrote: > > > > > > > I had at one time felt as though there was something that would fill > > all my cycling needs, but I have long since abandoned that idea. > > There are more reasons to have a lot of bikes than there are reasons > > to have just one, and if they all get used and help supersede trips- > > by- > > car, then as far as I'm concerned they can be said to be worth it. > > > For me, that means having a fast club-ride bike, a rain bike, a cx > > race bike, a full-suspension mt.bike, my new and vintage steel to ride > > with the wife, plus her road and mt. bikes. > > > That's a lot of bikes in the garage, but they all get used, and we get > > great enjoyment out of them, plus they are cheaper to operate than a > > car.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
