Re: [RBW] Bars and more bars...

John, Congrats on the Atlantis! Personally, I think that moving from serious road biking to the Atlantis is upshifting rather than downshifting. You can ride that Atlantis anywhere your legs can take you, carry whatever you want within limit, and change it up as your tastes change. Going from

Re: [RBW] Bars and more bars...

Tough question! Sure to get a lot of different opinions. I am on my first Riv after decades on drops. I really like my 650 wide Tosco bar on my Clem L. The 650 might be the only one available in the 31.8 clamp size, which is nice as it is plenty stiff & simply does not slip using a FacePlater

I have a Clem L 59 and have fitted some 29x2.5” tires. (700x63mm). Coming from the stock 45mm slicks, these fat tires have been amazing and made the bike super fun. Even on pavement. On Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at 4:44:11 PM UTC-6 Mackenzy Albright wrote: > My understanding is it's a

[RBW] Bike Travel Bag for Atlantis 62 cm

I'd like to get one of the new design Atlantis bikes, a 62cm version. I intend to travel with the big Atlantis by plane. Its axle-to-axle measure is 128cm. I have a circa 2019 Evoc Bike Bag Pro that handles a MTB with a wheelbase of 124 cm, with wheels, seat and bars removed. That's the max

Hey all- reopening this thread. Any suggestions with regards to kickstand length/lean angle on a larger wheel base bike (like the Platypus or Atlantis)? I finally ditched the double kickstand, and popped on a Flex, which is adjustable. Letting the bike lean more (smaller angle when measured to the

[RBW] Bars and more bars...

In a few weeks I'll join the Rivendell ranks taking possession of a new Atlantis 59cm. This will be my first more relaxed bike after decades of serious road biking - basically downshifting, partly due to health, partly due to changes in what I want a bike to do. For this Atlantis, I plan to do

For new, the Surly Cross Check is probably the closest competitor, but it's up to $700 for the frameset now, or $950 complete. The BMC Monstercross is like a CC with 0.1mm thinner tubing and worse cable routing. It's a few hundred more for the frameset. I've had both of these frame, and a QB,
