[RBW] Bike Parts FS

[Hugh Smitham]

HI Folks,

Selling some bike parts I have no use for. Some are brand new, never used 
or slightly used. I will accept payment via PayPal Friends and Family. If 
that doesn't work for you, I will accept a check in the mail. I will answer 
questions if I can but ultimately, it's on you to make sure the part is 
right for your application. If you need additional pictures let me know

When reaching out to me about a part(s) please direct message me. Don't 
respond to this post in the general comments. I don’t want to clog the 
forum with responses. Use the reply to author, you can find that in the 
upper right three dots I will need your full shipping address. Pirate ship 
requires the full address. Once I know what you want, I will look for the 
smallest box and get you the shipping cost. If it's crazy I will consider 
reducing the price if it makes sense. I will not ship outside the CONUSA. 
Alaska and Hawaii possibly?

Re: [RBW] Re: Quick Question about selling and payment methods?

[Hugh Smitham]

Garth,

Yes, F works but there are some buyers that want the buyer protection not
offered via F

On the other hand, if that becomes an issue I could just not sell to that
individual buyer.

[RBW] Quick Question about selling and payment methods?

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi,

I'm considering selling a box full of parts I no longer need. In the past I 
have taken payment via PayPal which was convenient for both the buyer and 
myself. However, now I believe all 3rd party banking services will be 
required to issue a 1099k for anything over $600 in a calendar year. I 
thought this was going into effect last year but I think it wasn't 
implemented.  I think this year is different. 

How are people dealing with this these days? I am considering only 
accepting a check for payment, this will obviously slow the process down as 
I would not ship the product till it clears. 

I understand that you can report to the IRS that you sold said items for a 
loss but that requires additionally accounting, which I can do but it seems 
tedious. 

Perhaps, I'm making too big a deal about this?

Anyway, I appreciate any constructive feedback.

Best Regards,

Hugh

[RBW] ISO Simworks Black Rhonda Stem.

Hi,

Looking for the above mentioned stem in black, preferably in a 120mm but 
might consider 110mm. Dm me if you have one lying around you're not using.

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Haha, good one Andy. This hue has been a desire since I saw Dave riding a
Masi in said hue on the big screen way back yonder. Not creamsicle but
burnt Appaloosa orange, Rambouillet's are the bees knees :)

I'm unsure a Onyx hub is in my future?

Seems you have some (less than ideal) experience with the xtr rear
mechanical?

Cheers,

Hugh

Bob,

Thank you Sir. It was a fun parts picking process. My favorite bits are the
vintage XTR bits and the Cerakote Nitto Seatpost and stem adapter.

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Matt,

Didn't even consider the Joker connection. Fortunately,  it's mostly orange
with a bit of purple and a hint of green. I would definitely get a bike
frame in Purple, maybe the next one? Although the Grey and Kidney bean
Hungapillar is epic.

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Morning Bill,

And happy spring. Life's been busy these days so the final push to build
was constantly delayed,  once I peeled some time off it went pretty quick.
I spent some time prepping the frame previously with frame saver and
helicopter tape in the vulnerable areas since it will see dirt and rocks.

Regarding tire size, it is maxed out. Especially in the rear and
particularly because of the motolites, they're a great brake but the noodle
and straddle cable sit pretty low. The tires are 650b x2.2.

I appreciate the praise,  orange, purple and green are favorites colors of
mine and yeah it does work.  I have only ridden it 9 miles on a MUP  But it
is very fun to ride. Maybe because of the tire choice but it rides
completely different from my road Atlantis.

Cheers!

Hugh

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Howdy Atlantis Folks,

Been a while but I'm finally ready to show my Orange'Lantis off. Finished 
the build last night and took it for a spin on the LA River MUP today and 
did a little photo shoot. Beautiful day all and all. Not sure the Map 
Ahearn bars will stay but here it is in all it's Orangey glory.

[RBW] ISO/WTB Crust Orthopedic Back Bar

[Hugh Smitham]

Figure it's a long shot but thought maybe someone who was fortunate enough 
to get one of these bars has decided they aren't for them or maybe decided 
not to use them after all? If so I'd like to give em a try. Hit me me up 
with a dm if you want to move wm along.

He, he that was me, the clamp size made me pause on snapping up a set. I 
regret not buying them, they were in my cart. I could have just purchased a 
26.0 stem from Simworks and be on the other side of this have vs have not :)

[RBW] ISO Frame Saver.

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi,

Apparently problem solver purchased frame saver, as far as I can tell there 
are no online retailers selling an aerosol can of it,  perhaps it can't be 
shipped because it's an aerosol can under pressure?  Anyone know how I can 
get my hands on some? Maybe a retailer in the Los Angeles area? For obvious 
reasons most bike stores are closed today through January 3rd.

Happy New year!!

Hugh

Re: [RBW] Wheel size on MIT Homer 58

[Hugh Smitham]

The geometry chart is outdated and riv is currently revising it. You need
to call Rivendell and ask them. My guess is that a 58 cm is 700 C but my
old 2012 was 650 b 路

I dig the gold Motolites, understated but still an element of bling. Are
those the Losco bullmoose or Bosco bullmoose bars. Also I'm warming to that
color green, very handsome looking.

Re: [RBW] Re: Share More Riv Riding Pics

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi Jason,

Super happy "New Bike Day" you really picked a great whip as your first
Rivendell. I did the same back in 2012 when I purchased a new A. H. Hilsen.

You also picked one of my favorite locations to ride to and photograph.

Best,

~Hugh

Re: [RBW] Max tire on the MIT Atlantis

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi Erik,

Thanks! I wanted to run some Rene Herse 27.5″ x 2.2″ (650B x 55) Umtanum
Ridge TC Tire but seems that's not in the cards. I'm leaning towards the
bontrager XR3s in a 2.2" I appreciate the confirmation.

[RBW] Max tire on the MIT Atlantis

[Hugh Smitham]

This here is a call out to those with an MIT Atlantis.

What's the largest MTB tire you've successfully squeezed on the old girl? 
Looking to put some meat on the Atlantis, 2.4 would be ideal but I notice 
the Rivendell Geo chart has 2.2 as the max. James at Riv said 2.35" so 
figured I'd ask current owners.

TIA,

Hugh n LA

I for one am glad they stuck with the name/model.

It could have been solved by a running  data base/records using serial
numbers, but I figure a small company like Rivendell that had only been in
business for 6 years the last thing they were thinking beyond survival was
whether some nerds would want to know how the model changed through the
preceding years.

It's not that useful to me either other than just through pure curiosity.

I don't know how committed I am to this but the idea of creating a small
page devoted to the history of the Atlantis would be cool. Maybe in Google
docs where beyond the present it can be updated?

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis evolution?

[Hugh Smitham]

I'll check it out Scott.

I just got off the phone with James at Rivendell and we agreed that one of
the largest changes from the first batch of MIT to the current batch of MIT
is that the 56 cm was 650B and the current 55cm is 700c. The first batch of
MIT had a shorter top tube as well making a drop bar more feasible. The new
batch of the MIT as you can see drop the 56 cm altogether.

I'm going to shoot an email to Grant Just to try to get a better year
understanding of each iteration and maybe some of the geometry changes he
made. We'll see this will be an interesting exchange.

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis evolution?

[Hugh Smitham]

Doug,

Well that would make sense regarding the number two. I just finished
reading that riv reader pertaining to the Bridgestone ode to Singer Frenchy
bike designed by Mr. Watanabe.

As far as I can tell there was a MIT version after (between) the Waterford
run and the current MIT run. I think the distinction was shorter top tube
but similarly long chain stays. Just curious the years.

Doug your memory has always served me pretty darn well :)

Joe, It's funny but If my memory serves me it was Jim's cyclofiend archive
site that originally turned me on to Rivendell.

My Genesis, back in 2007 I was riding a pinarello, a small bike shop in
downtown LA I used to visit, a mechanics there told me about Waterford, He
basically said if you want to find a really sweet bike! Go take a look at
Waterford. Researching Waterford and at the time blown away by the high
cost somehow led me to Jim's site and consequently Rivendell, which was
IMHO a great value. And I still think they're a great value.

Joe,

Thanks. Jim's RR's stop at Summer 2000, there's some mention around 2009
but really less than complete historical account of the Atlantis. I feel a

[RBW] Re: Atlantis evolution?

[Hugh Smitham]

Joe, I've been wondering about something. Do you know the timelines for the 
various iterations? 1. Toyo 1999-?  2.Waterford and later longish chain 
stay iteration Year to 2017? 3.  MIT version I believe is 2018- to present.

I remember my 2003 Atlantis had a <2> on the seat tube and recall reading 
that it was the 2nd Toyo run or batch within the Toyo timeline but have no 
idea what would have changed between the 1999 to my 2003 model?

If you are dead set on the Paul Post we can talk about a price adjustment.

Miles: under 700 total. Drive train maybe a couple hundred. Drive has been 
freshly cleaned. Bike comes with color matched touch up paint. This bike 
was used but not abused, therefore it does have paint knicks which have 
been touched up, which the pictures should show. There are no dents or 
dings. Buyer pays for shipping. I will personally pack the bike up and ship 
it via bike flights in the contiguous United States. There is a scrape on 
the Jones bars which I painted. Upon request I will provide close up 
pictures of the area if you are a serious buyer. Prior to shipment I will 
deflate the tires and may remove the tire sealant.

 

The brakes as you can see are hydro, the frame was not designed with the 
hydro cables in mind, therefore a 3m adhesive zip tie mount has been used. 
One fell off as you can see in the non-drive side picture. I have a new set 
arriving from Amazon and will have the missing one replaced. Of course if 
you buy it you can convert back to a cable actuated disc brake. I 
personally liked the stopping power of the hydro brakes. 

If I have leaf anything out or you have any questions DM me and I’ll do my 
best to answer.

[RBW] FT Trade my black Paul Thumbies for Silver Version.

I have a black set lightly used but would like a set of silver. DM if you'd 
like to make a trade.

Here are the pictures. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmWXRaXd

Pretty much said earlier that perhaps I would ask the man himself. I'd say
the spirit of my post was, dang limited choices and did anyone know why
the diameter changed? As I see it this forum is to ask questions and to
some extent speculate. I personally don't see it as a problem, unless of
course it becomes a problem with wild conspiratorial chatter.

Agree with the two bolt design and depending on the build black is fine. My
current Atlantis leans towards silver but I relented with some black bits
out of economic necessity. The next build will lean towards black so no
bias either way.

Thank you for validating my point, just meager pickings to begin with and
most are unacceptable for my preference. I'm not too bad at searching
the internet but I'm no Steven Hawking level genius searching for
seat posts. Getting offended?? Over limited choices? I guess some might be
so egomaniacal but most are probably just a bit frustrated and a bit
curious. I'll leave it at that.

I'm not opposed to shelling out $120 or $130 for a well made post. Heck I
have a Paul Handsome post on a bike ~$200 but that was 27.2 and there by my
accounts more choices.

Thanks for the suggestion, the Miche Supertype isn't that considered a
track bike post? I honestly don't know what difference that would be? The
look isn't my favorite. I wish this post came in 26.8

 Gotta go - the UPS guy is at the door with my Crust Clydesdale fork. I

 December). I love a good alliteration. The black fork even matches the

Re: [RBW] Re: 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Hugh Smitham]

Good ideas if I run into the same issue. I haven't had a seat post slip on
any of my Rivendell's but I have heard other's mention it, now my old
Italian race bike is a different story.

That Promax post is a decent option but I like the extra 5mm of set back
the s83 has. Alex Cycles has a s83 in Black with I'm considering since my
next build is orange and I'm going with more black.

Laing,

Got it. I figured it was a minimal amount to hone off and you layed out
your logic for moving forward, which is sound. Saving $1200 is significant,
thanks for the explanation.

Re: [RBW] Re: 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Hugh Smitham]

I agree the lugs used (no matter the design) accept the same OS diameter
tubing but Rivendell went with thicker walled tubing. The question is why?
To me Grant not wanting to ream out the seat tube could effectively be
solved by choosing a thinner walled tubing. I think it's a structural
decision as I mentioned before. Laing, I wonder if by reaming out the
inside of the seat tube you are voiding the warranty? Probably NBD unless
you ride like Manny and need all the extra gussets and tube wall thickness.

David, basically my issue boils down to lack of availability which
obviously has been exacerbated by the pandemics supply chain disruption.
Yet still if I want a 27.2 post NBD.

Eric and Laing, I agree with a lugged post in 26.8mm please!

Re: [RBW] Re: 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Hugh Smitham]

Toshi,

That's my understanding as well, it has to be thicker tubing walls for
structural strength.

Perhaps the inconvenience of a different seat post diameter was the trade
off to avoid frame warranty claims. In this case the slight inconvenience
was shifted to the consumer. At the end of the day I suppose it's a small
price to pay for Riv to remain viable.

[RBW] Re: 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Hugh Smitham]

Hey Fellas,

Thanks for the reply's.

Ron, honestly I know very little about bicycle frame manufacturing in terms 
of the decisions that go into ordering a batch of F's. I could certainly 
see creating a uniformity of parts and I'm sure Grant has some 
rationalization for going with this diameter seat tube but it effectively 
limited choices, virtually every seat post manufacturer makes a 27.2 mm 
post.

Karl, it does.

Joe,  they do but I prefer a dual bolt post. They are stronger and allow 
for better adjustment.

A friend of mine on the list here uses a suspension post, When Rivendell 
went to this seat post diameter it effectively limited him from buying any 
of the new frames because nobody makes his preferred suspension post in 
that diameter only in 27.2mm.

Perhaps I'll call Grant and ask the man himself why he made that decision. 
Somewhere I read that he wanted to create a thicker tube wall for more 
strength? Maybe there were some failures and he was future proofing? Maybe 
someone with better knowledge will chime in?

[RBW] 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Hugh Smitham]

Maybe someone can answer this, why in the heck did Rivendell start making
the seat tube inside diameter 26.8mm on the new bikes? I believe hearing
something about seat tube wall thickness. Don't get me wrong, I think the
new Geos make for a better ride, but it's way easier to find posts in
27.2mm all day long.

Rivendell has the Nitto S83 in that diameter but it's a whopping 300 mm
length 50 mm more than I need and also a whopping $128 before tax and
shipping.

Rant over n out.

Jim,

I hadn't thought to do that. RBW Owners Bunch now is officially in my
Google contacts.

[RBW] Re: WANTED: White Industries VBC Silver Crank Arms 170mm

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi Michael,

I think these are pretty hard to come by and it's my thinking if someone 
has a set it's gonna be in use. I have a set currently in use on my 
Atlantis. I'm building another bike up and just ordered 
another WI VBC crankset 
from 
https://avt.bike/collections/white-industries-cranksets/products/white-industries-vbc-crankset.
 
Not cheap and there's a 12 week wait but so far the best I could find.

I've never ordered from this company but they seem legit and another list 
member I know ordered a set and received his crank so there's that.

Best Regards,

Hugh n LA

[RBW] Re: Bike Bits and Pieces For Sale

[Hugh Smitham]

Update: The White Industries Eno Crank is a 1x crank system. If you need a 
double then you need a VBC crank arm (variable bolt circle). I also have 
the specific tool that you have to buy separate to torque down the crank 
lock ring to the drive side arm. If you want it lmk and we can figure out a 
price.

If it's not clear I'm selling the 32t chain ring separately.

[RBW] Bike Bits and Pieces For Sale

[Hugh Smitham]

Time to clear out some parts. There's a lot so in the interest of my sanity
I have a few ground rules or let's say guidelines. I mean no offense. But
please take the time to read through before contacting me.

When you respond to me please send correspondence to hughsmit...@gmail.com*
In the subject window please put what part(s) you're interested in?* This
will help me keep all the emails straight.* In the body please say where
you saw the post?* I'll be posting to other groups simultaneously.

 1. I'm busy, I know we all are but for some reason as I've gotten older
Work, doctor's appointments, husband duties, my fanatical obsession with
baseball and peeling off time to cycle, my time is limited. So I will mail
out packages once a week. Maybe no one buys anything or very little and
this is a moot point. If I'm wrong about something which can and has
happened, let me know but do it privately and I'll make the correction.

2. I use USPS priority boxes because I don't have a UPS or Fedex business
account. Here are the U.S. contiguous states prices. Sm flat rate box
$9.20, Med Flat Rate box $16.25, Large Flat Rate box $22.65 Obviously the
more bits you buy the better the shipping cost. I'm sorry I can't offer a
better shipping solution. I'll do my best to get multiple parts in the
smallest box possible. If I can send using an envelope I will but honestly
the savings isn't much. I'm only shipping to the lower 48. If you're in
Alaska or Hawaii we can discuss shipping and whether it makes sense? I
won't be shipping overseas, Canada not sure what the rates are? I assume it
just costs more to and from?

3. I will do my utmost to give the first person to respond the first
opportunity to pay and it's theirs. If I run into slow communication I
can't help it if someone beats you to buying it, unless we have a
pre-arranged understanding.

4. I will do my best in this post to answer all questions about products.
All items are used unless stated. All items are as is. For instance the
Campee rack may have come with bolts/ hardware but I don't have the time to
hunt down those bits.  But if you have a question I'll do my best to
answer. I may not have the technical ability to give you an adequate
answer.

The B light has a broken electrical tab. The tab is for rear light
wiring. I remember there was a hack where you opened it up and soldered a
new tab on. I never took the time to do this obviously, maybe you'll be
industrious or not care a bean?

The Campee 32F front rack will not work with Linear brakes, probably most
know this already but I figure perhaps I save someone the hassle.

The Wolftooth ring is meant to work with a Surly chain ring but can be made
to work with other crank arms. I suggest if you're considering it go to the
Wolftooth website and read up on the specs.

DTSwiss 6 bolt 142mm rear hub. I don't think they make this model anymore?
142mm IIRC this has been was the gravel dropout spacing.

Campagnolo Athena 11 speed Ergo Shifters. If you are Shimago(sp) curious I
believe you can use these with Shimano MTB 9speed derailleurs, I was going
to but never got to it. It's something about the pull ratios that are
really similar and play well together.

73mm BB pretty straight forward, I think the Hiily bikes have a 73mm BB
shell. I had these for my Bantam adventure bike but I'm selling that rig
soon.

Salsa Stem, I can't remember why I bought this but I never used it. I can't
recall the vintage, maybe early odds? I searched the internet and couldn't
find one like it. I believe it was made under the QBP banner but not sure?
If anyone knows, let me know.

B Topline rear light, selling separately because that's how I bought it.
If you're interested in the B Luxos U and want both we can work out a
deal?

The used Sugino crank rings are in my opinion in good shape. But don't take
my word, look at the pictures and make your own conclusion. Sorry I didn't
clean the one off, maybe I will before shipping?

Cook Bros Crank Arms, IDK people on eBay ask $200 I figured I'd go lower
make me an offer? But let's not get too wild :)

Mallet pedals, I know nothing about them apparently they go for $150 new
but I never used them, they came off a 2014 Santa Cruz Tallboy vintage 2014.

Shimano M737 Triple crank arms and rings. I had this initially on my Bantam
bike as a double therefore set up as a dbl. I bought NOS and used it very
little.

Ocean Air Cycles  Docena Porteur Bag. The price is roughly what I paid less
shipping but hey Rob hasn't made any in a while. I can play with the price
to absorb some of the shipping cost.

[RBW] ISO-WTB 55cm MIT Atlantis F

[Hugh Smitham]

Well it's been a busy couple weeks for me on this list. Really hope I
haven't worn out my welcome.

I'm making this post for my friend Ron who has newly joined the group but
has yet to be vetted or passed muster as it were to make his very own post.

He's looking for the the above Atlantis frame & fork only. Well if it has a
headset and bottom bracket thumbs up.

If you have one that you'd part with you can Private message me and I'll
forward it on to Ron or you can publicly respond in which case he can field
it himself.

A little more info: Ron is located in SoCal he's a nice guy and was lucky
enough to meet Grant & Tom Richey at the 2017 Interbike, I've seen pictures
of them and I don't think there was any Photoshop hanky panky.

We need to get Ron on a Rivendell asap, let's bring him into the fold, and
not in a creepy culty way, we don't want to frighten him away.

BOOM!!

who let the dogs out!!?

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Rusty,

That's a handsome Atlantis you have there. I need to take a look at  Spank 
Flare bar. The second picture is great, the river trail sounds fun. Your 
using your Atlantis for what it was intended a great all-rounder rig.
Black Kats are a good looking pedal but twice as much as the  Deity Deftrap 
pedals, I see why you passed. 

Thanks for sharing and many happy miles to you and that steed.

Best Regards,

Hugh

Gabriel,

This is awesome, I love a good provenance story. I haven't had the
opportunity to touch base with my Rivendell historian friend about the
early Atlantis color schemes. My understanding was that they have always
been that Russian sub interior color. But hey, I wasn't absolutely certain
because I'm not that much of a Rivendell nerd. Well not yet:)

Hugh

Excellent points on the merits of trigger shifters. I'm definitely not
against them.

4.  Bullmoose vs Bosco.  Again, to each his or her own.  At the same time,

If you're an outlier then you must be a Rivster :) I think you make
excellent points,  I've ridden Albatache, Albatross, Drops, Jones and a ton
of MTB bars and am currently using Choco's on my road centric Atlantis.

I've been wary of the Bosco's and other similar bar types for the very
reasons you bring up, principally the handshake angle and lack of other
hand positions. I'm including a picture attached of the reason I want to
try the Bosco. This guy Fabio, Ron whatever name he's currently using says
that you can take a Bosco bar and spread them out to achieve a similar bar.
I think the one in this picture is a prototype, but I have no idea when it
will be available on the Crust site?

I love my Motolites, infinite ability to set them up, easy to get your
wheel out, like you say no deflation. They have great stopping power and
look great. The only issue I have with them is that they interfere with
fork crown mounting of a fixed campee rack. I had a 32F campy rack with
detachable lowrider pannier mounts I had to return. Obviously a Mark's rack
will work.

 By the way, I only inflate the tires to 30/35 lbs. front/rear.  I weigh

Yes it's me again. Looking for M9xx series front and rear derailleurs. If 
you don't know this the early gen XTR. So m950/51 are 1st gen XTR. If you 
have one or both sitting in your parts crate with no plans to use shoot me 
a DM.

I know nothing about these Shikoro's, I presume they are from Japan?

What is a clipper wide low? I know it's a crank set but I've never heard of
the clipper brand?

Regarding the Deore M591, is 32 it's max cog? Or can it go to 36?

When I started mountain biking in the mid-80s I got used to using the early
trigger shifters and I really like them a lot, not so much for aesthetics.
These days I've become more comfortable with friction, however I've been
considering trigger shifters for my next build.

Totally agree with your thoughts on cockpits. I've been curious about the
bullmoose bars, but have been unsure of their fixed nature. Meaning you
can't feather the bars downward. I'm really Bosco curious, I plan on trying
the Ultraromance idea to bend a set of chromo wider.

7.  The Bitex rear hub, which James recommended, roles very smoothly and,
important to me, very quietly.  It's Taiwan made and has been problem
free.  It's also available in silver.


Good to know I've know very little about these hubs. I'm getting ready to
build a wheel set, I tend to gravitate towards white industry rear hubs but
it is noisy. Probably going to go with a shutter precision or Son 28 Dyno
hub.

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Hey I know this guy!!

Doug do you remember doing that ride in the San Gabriel's (Mendehall Divide 
Jeep Trail) and I was on my 2012 A. Homer Hilsen and I keep saying I should 
have bought an Atlantis. Well now I'll have two!!

Thanks for showing us your faithful conveyor of so many years. I can't 
recall but didn't you have some total mileage figured out and it was pretty 
significant.

Best Regards,

Hugh

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Andrew,

Good to meet you. Ah grey. I wasn't aware that the early one's came in any 
other color that the russian sub green?? I didn't know Microsoft was doing 
bike shifting these days ;) 

Honestly, I love the Atlantis color but these repainted and in your case 
possibly early color runs are always welcome sights.

Just my humble opinion but I think it's the very best Rivendell. The 
other's are great but the original seed for this bike was an All-Rounder 
and I think it's design has been proven time and time again. 

Best Regards,

Hugh

[Hugh Smitham]

Benz,

I guess that's you name? What a well thought out build. I absolutely love 
that 1st gen XTR drive. Pretty sweet older hubs the polished silver looks 
so good. I like the be seen friction (I presume) dyno rear light. I don't 
like dyno wiring running to the rear just ugly and a pain. I had a campee 
front rack like that but it doesn't play well with v-brakes so it was a no 
go.

I like all the shots but a Atlantis in the wild is special.

I think you played pretty well Sir.

Best Regards,

Hugh

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Bill,

Nothing wrong with a original build, testament to a build that has served 
you well or your stubborn /s

I look forward to see what kind of changes you make? Please repost on this 
thread so we can see what you landed on? I can't disagree with you I get a 
ton of joy thinking about a build
bits and pieces.

I know Grant IIRC coined the term Beausage and he's got something there. A 
well used bike but mechanically maintained equates to bike love for me. 
Although, a new fresh bike is pretty sweet.

I remember hearing this Japanese term on this list serve or maybe one of 
Grant's posts Wabi Sabi. 

>From WikiPedia: In traditional Japanese aesthetics 
, *wabi-sabi* (侘 
寂 
) is a world view 
 centered on the acceptance of 
transience  and imperfection.[2] 
 The aesthetic is 
sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, 
impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.[3] 
 It is a concept 
derived from the Buddhist  teaching 
of the three marks of existence 
 (三法印, *sanbōin*), 
specifically impermanence  (無常, 
*mujō*), suffering  (苦, *ku*) and 
emptiness 
or absence of self-nature 
 (空, *kū*).

Characteristics of *wabi-sabi* aesthetics and principles include asymmetry 
, roughness, simplicity 
, economy, austerity, modesty, 
intimacy , and the appreciation of 
both natural objects and the forces of nature.

I like this very much.


Best Regards,

Hugh

Re: [RBW] Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Hi Frankie,

I love all the iterations but I particularly like the first two. On the 
first I love the green tires that match, not a fan of the  Albastache tried 
it and moved on. My current favorite is the Choco bar. Looks like the 
BullMoose bars in I assume the most recent, they look really comfortable. 
Is that and Aspin saddle in #2 and #3? 

Thanks for sharing your versatile all rounder Atlantis with us.

Best Regards,

Hugh

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Steve,

Love this build!! I have appreciated Jame's details on some other builds 
he's done. What's the contraption that is mounted between the top tube and 
stem?
Great choice on tires really fills out the Atlantis and the fenders look 
amazing! Who makes the fenders?

I have like you landed on the Quill Rims for my next build. Not a ton of 
wide (rim brake) rims these days that strike a balance between
light weight and strength. I don't know much about the Middleburn Cranks? 
Maybe give us a drive side shot to see the bulk of the crank? The non-drive 
crank arm has some nice fluting. What's the deal with the SKF BB is it 
superior to the Shimano or Tange bottom brackets?

Your using Shimano Trigger shifters with the Paul Love levers, how do you 
like the shifters? Looks like your rocking the Jones bars using a 
threadless stem and the nitto threaded to threadless adapter. How's the 
stability and the bar comfort? Do the Bitex hubs roll fast? I love the Paul 
Motolite brakes in fact I plan on using them again for this new build.

Anyway, thanks for showing us your beauty.

Best Regards,

Hugh

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

[Hugh Smitham]

Drew,

Hey buddy of course I know you. You live in Atwater and I sold you a set of 
tires a long while ago. IIRC you teach art which I enjoy seeing when you 
post to your IG account and you have a getaway property in the Southern 
Sierra.

I like the story on the fork or at least the part of cost and the decision 
to powder coat rather than wet paint. Often the cost to do something so 
small like wet paint a fork is absurdly high and makes no sense, at least 
to me. I just did CicLAvia today and am always surprised in a largely car 
centric city just how many bikes people have, I think it's great that you 
have a cargo rig to get stuff done locally rather than hop in a car, but 
your area kind of lends itself to that mode of travel with narrow streets 
and probably minimal parking spots. 

Yeah I bet the Atlantis feels sprightly after lugging around a child and 
grocery's. Thanks for sharing Drew.

Best Regards,

Hugh
