Every time I think I've made peace with my 700c wheels, I see a photo of a 
bike like this!!  26 wheels and fat tires just look so right

 When the ride was over, everything worked so well, I don't have any 
 immediate plans to change or adjust anything.  Pure fun.

I love me some clean bars.  I tend to migrate all over 'em.

That's one of the best looking Atlantises (Atlantii?) I have ever seen.

Thanks, guys, the bike is a hoot!  Maybe stem shifters are under appreciated, 
especially in cases when barends are just a little too close to the knees.

I'm glad I had a tiny part in getting you to try those stem shifters.  I 
think that setup looks great.  There are certain Riv setups that just look 
right, once you see them, and that setup is one of them.  It looks right.  
That's not to say that barcons or thumbies or DT shifters are any less 
right.

Nice!!   I always like views looking down at the handlebars where you can 
see the fat tire out front!!

The Atlantis looks fantastic, I love the fat tires and the stem shifters 
actually make me somewhat intrigued to try them out myself.  Great looking
