Super good-looking bike--that syringa vulgaris paint job is quite wynsum!

Re: [RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[Deacon Patrick]

Ha! Isn't it amazing how different the bikes feel? I was also surprised by 
the difference between my Hunqapiller and Quickbeam, both unloaded. I've 
settled into a pattern of always leaving my panniers on the Hunqapillar, so 
the difference "unloaded" is even greater. Yet the difference in time to a 
destination in negligible in any real world terms. If I meet someone at the 
trail head 10 miles away, I know it takes me 90 minutes on either bike, so 
I allow 1:45 for a bit of a cushion. The primary difference isn't actual 
speed, it's the ride feel and experience.  

Love the color! We will have lilacs blooming here in about 3 weeks, so 
you'd fit right in! Ride with wild abandon!

With abandon,
Patrick

[Matt Beecher]

I've gotten out for a few rides already, but hope to go on a longer one 
today.  So far, I am shocked at how much lighter the Saluki is over my 
Atlantis.  While weight isn't a terribly significant factor for me, I 
expected them to be the same.  It is nice to have lighter bikes when I have 
to carry them up and out of my basement.  

In terms of comfort, I would say the Saluki has been a bit more 
comfortable, but it also has better quality tires, which likely contributes 
significantly.  

Overall, I am very happy with the Saluki and would gladly recommend them.  

Cheers,
Matt

Horses -- I understand. Fortunately, around here, the soil is sandy and
usually dry, so that while we have plenty of horses, their hoofmarks are
annoying only after rains (and the soil dries very quickly here) when the
surfaces are for a brief while very choppy.

It is indeed a Flyer and it takes just a bit out of the bumps.  I probably 
don't need it with those tires, but that was really my only spare saddle.  

It does not give much, but I started using those over a standard B17 when I 
was riding trails shared with horses. Riding over the hoof prints could be 
unpleasant over time, especially if I didn't see them coming.  I typically 
use the flyer on a bike that takes 32mm or smaller tires.

Very nice.

Champion Flyer? Do the springs work for you with drop bars? I tried one and
I thought it didn't "give" enough to make it worthwhile, but this was on a
drop barred mountain bike. Perhaps its time to try one again?

[Matt Beecher]

I could not have gotten luckier.  The bike is great.  The seller was 
fantastic to work with...in that he actually delivered the bike to me.  It 
is mostly his build, minus the saddle and pedals.  I don't plan to change 
anything, except maybe adding a pump to the 3rd set of bottle braze-ons. 

Most importantly...the color will be staying, as it is just what I want.  

Ever onward,
Matt

[RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[Michael Hechmer]

Matt,  I have often wanted an Atlantis but have regrettably never gotten 
one.  I do have a 62cm cantied Saluki and a 62 cm Ram.  I love them both. 
 As someone else mentioned, the AHH was brought to market as a revised 
Saluki.  The Saluki is not as fast or agile as the Ram, but is not slow 
either.  I love the wider 650B tires on the Saluki and prefer it for the 
many dirt ( and lousy chip & seal roads) in Vermont. I run 38s but 41s will 
fit under VO fenders.  The Saluki does just fine on grocery runs, and I 
would not hesitate to take it touring, although the tandem does all of that 
work.  It's a great bike, but if you already own an Atlantis it's hard to 
see what more you will get.  Probably the Saluki is a bit quicker unloaded, 
but if it's more speed you are looking for there are other, better choices. 
 On the other hand you could continue to search for one and then decide 
which one you wanted to keep. If I were headed to Tierra del Fuego, I would 
choose the Atlantis; for the rest of my rides, the Saluki is great.

Michael

[RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[Kellie]

I have both and LOVE both. Both cantis. I've set up the Saluki with drops 
and ride it the longer distances on road (though it's great on fire roads 
with Fatty Rumpkins), and use it on the indoor trainer. The Atlantis get's 
ridden most the time, road and commuting, and all the off-road adventures 
(has 2.1 tires). It has a large Sackville Saddleback, dynamo head and rear. 
 I have a small Sackville saddlesack on the Saluki with a dynamo headlight. 
 The Saluki is 650b and the Atlantis 26'. I love the 650b platform but 
opted for 26" when I had the Atlantis built last Sept. I don't want to part 
with either and feel I have the best 2 bikes for whatever I want to do. 
But, if I had to get rid of one, it'd be the Saluki.

[RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[KenP]

Hi Matt,
   I have a 53 Rivendell All Rounder with 26inch wheels, which is like an 
Atlantis, and a 54 650B Saluki. I like both.  The Saluki feels taller and 
steadier and lighter.  The All Rounder feels more sluggish but quick in the 
turns, and stronger and takes wider tires with fenders.  Lately I have been 
commuting with the All Rounder because there is a steep road with lots of 
potholes, patches, and speed bumps.  I have taken the Saluki on long trips 
on the GAP trail and the C Canal; It has racks and lots of bottle cages 
and it is perfect for those trips. One thing: get the right size, because I 
bought one of the first Salukies in a size 50 and even though I rode it 
comfortably for two years, I eventually traded for the 54 which fit me much 
better.  Hope you find your size.
Ken

[C.J. Filip]

Had a 56cm Atlantis.  Traded for a 59cm AHH which was traded for a 60cm 
canti Saluki.  Very happy with the Saluki although it was nice to run 
"monstercross"-sized tires on the Atlantis.  It's my happy medium bike, 
combining construction ideas of GP and rando/brevet ideas of JH/BQ.  I load 
it up with a Jannd low-rider (thanks ample braze-ons) and Nitto R-14 for 
long weekend semi credit card tours up in the British Columbia/Alberta 
Rockies.  It will go with me to this years BQ Un-meting.  

You are right for wanting one!  I hope you can find one.

[RBW] Re: seeking Rivendell Saluki reviews...and maybe a lead

[DB]

I have one and it is pretty awesome.  I use it for brevets and dirt riding 
and it handles both really well.  I believe you can order a 650b Homer 
Hilsen which is essentially the same bike except that it is readily 
available.
