Whoa. On Aug 31, 3:05 pm, Jacob Smyth jhsmyth...@gmail.com wrote: I have in my possession a Bridgestone Atlantis from 1982 designed by Hiroo Watanabe. The frame is made out of 4130 ChrMo steel. The seat post is an aluminum SR Laprade, made in Japan. The handlebar is a Nitto Universiade 105, still in very good condition. I am replacing the brake levers (Dia Compe Gran Compe) with a newer version of the same product. I am also going to re-tape the handlebars with fresh white cloth tape. The headset is a 1 Tange Falcon (made in Japan, but discontinued) and the fork is a Suntour Superbe Pro.

...but how is it appropriate to this list, please? 1) Made by Bridgestone- the company that Grant used to work for 2) Has been discussed in depth in several RR 3) Has a direct link to the Riv Atlantis, so much so that the Riv has a 2 on it (this is the 1, right?) 4) Obviously influenced Grants thinking about bikes and bike design 5) Pretty sure it shares lugs with other later B-stone models that also influenced Riv designs (X0?) Thanks for pics! A beautiful bike. Cheers! cm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Very nice. I especially like the catalogue page with the bike set-up with racks panniers. I've owned an Riv Atlantis since 03 and only recently learned the significance of the 2 on the decal. This one pre-dates my bike by 21 years. Nice to understand the lineage. dougP On Sep 1, 6:50 am, Jon Grant jgr...@papagrant.com wrote: From: Jacob Smyth jhsmyth...@gmail.com You can the pictures here:http://picasaweb.google.com/100062156430961581353/BridgestoneAtlantis... =directlink --- A beautiful bicycle to be sure, but how is it appropriate to this list, please? -- Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
