She's done a decently balanced review. I love my Atlantis (now well over 40,000 miles) and anxiously await every issue of BQ. I do not agree completely with either Grant or Jan but both have well substantiated arguments for their philosophies. To me, it boils down to Grant's statement (somewhere?) that "...a bike frame is a place to hang the parts you want..." and Jan's belief that one must start with the wheel & tire size and design an integrated bicycle from there, considering rider weight, luggage, racks, lights, etc. Grant's approach demands versatility whereas Jan's seems to lean toward specificity. Granted Jan's ideas lead to a bike that's still quite versatile, but bikes built to his ideal will be more rider specific; i.e., built for one rider's height, weight, etc.
I've learned a lot from both of these guys, and they both contribute real, useful information. I'm glad we've got resources such as Grant & Jan in the bicycle world. They are both into real world cycling that we can relate to and actually enjoy. Thumbs up to Lovely Bicycle for a great article. dougP On Tuesday, May 7, 2013 7:00:05 PM UTC-7, samh wrote: > > I was fascinated by the discussion here: > > > http://lovelybike.blogspot.com/2011/02/choosing-your-gospel-rivendell-vs.html > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
