Scotty: That's a nice mix of bikes you'll have. The first Rivendell I ever saw was my own Atlantis when I took it out of the shipping box. I had purchased stuff from them and been a member for a long time. Their whole approach to cycling was consistent with mine and the details they freely share take a lot of the mystery out of things. You're gonna love your new bike.
