Oh, sorry, I was presumptuous in suggesting to DougP that you had a typo. Sorry about that.
However, I do think Atlantis does belong in Golden Age. AND also deserves to be the namesake of the New Atlantean Epoch. That's how special the Atlantis is. There was a time (99-2000) when it was almost the only game in town for that style of bike. In the larger sizes, Riv went ahead with it in 700C, and that scared some of us who worried about tire selection. "We want real 2-inchers, not weak 700C hybrid 'sort of fatties'". A "29er market" wasn't a thing that people said yet, but Riv went ahead anyway, saying "Hey, the 700C wide tire offerings will get better." Rivendell deserves a lot of credit for that. I think of the Atlantis as the start of the Golden Age. It's been over 18 years since it came out, and bikes have been incredibly fun in that time. -----Original Message----- >From: Philip Williamson <philip.william...@gmail.com> >Sent: Sep 26, 2018 8:54 PM >To: RBW Owners Bunch <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> >Subject: [RBW] Re: What epoch of Rivster are you? > >I left out the Atlantis because it spans epochs!
