Honestly, if my bike gets stolen then it’s opportunity for an upgrade...
But when in questionable areas, I use the Sheldon Brown method that locks the
back wheel to a post with a (Kryptonite) mini U lock.

Ah I see that now. Shoulda read the whole thing. I have an analog stem that I
like a lot. It’d be cool to have a Nitto version, though I’d hope that analog
gets some credit or kickback for taking the (re-)initial plunge.

That particular bike (the owners bike, that has a few other "custom"
tidbits) is a threaded one, but yes, the Nor'easter is a threadless bike.
I wonder if these are done in conjunction with Analog based on the (W)right
stems? I think they were the re-instigiators of the minimal offset stems.
I too was very curious about this. It sure is pretty. That’s a quill stem on a
threadless (nor’easter is threadless right) bike though? How is that working?

Thanks for depressing me as well. Upon further research, I found this NY Times

It's not the butternut, but if he still has it, might be had for a good

I have had a few people recognize it and comment "nice Riv," but I agree,
from a marketing perspective.
On one group ride, someone was admiring my bike saying how lovely it was

Regarding the namesIn general , I find the gendered names of the frames
a little annoying. I always cringed that the earlier mixte was the Betty.
Applying masculine names to the other "normal" bikes is equally
problematic.
I love the names Atlantis, Saluki, Cheviot, Hunqapillar, etc.

This is true. My biggest gripe with the cantis I almost forgot about - it
cannot fit anything wider than 54mm according to their specs. I wanted to
make a canti RTP bike, but with fenders these cantis would not work either.

I read a 2-page excerpt from RR #21 (thanks to Jim!) with title "Atlantis
Review & Update", and was struck by the similarities between the move from
the All Rounder to the Toyo Atlantis, the move from Toyo to Waterford
Atlantis frames, and now the move from Waterford to Taiwan. Always finding
Ash, those are NOS & offered by someone with an inflated opinion of their
value; occasional searching will turn up more reasonably priced used sets.
Appearance wise they hold up well over time and any I buy, I am intent on
using, so NOS means nothing to me.

Damned indeed. That's some mighty serious money they're asking for
them. They weren't just MTB: I had them on my Santana tandem, where
they worked just fine. For that money, though, there's simply no way

Agree. Would not be a lot to ask for just one bike model to be named after a
woman. But, hope springs eternal - maybe the Anniversary Mixte will have a
feminine name! My hopes are so high for this bike. I should probably settle
down until I actually have some cold, hard facts.

Aye, Garth. None of my lassies or wife wants a Clem L, but they all want a
Clementine. So far, the 3/5th of them that have a Rivendell (because they're
old enough to fit the medium, which is likely their adult size), have
Clementines. They'd rather buy a used Clementine than a new Clem L.

sweep back much more than the Albatross which is something I don't really
want. I would need to compensate with a longer stem and 1. I don't want to
