Patrick,
This is a deeply and widely explored topic. There are some numbers and
graphs to look at here: https://www.wheelscience.com/pages/aero-v-weight
In my personal experience, deep rims can save me ~10-20 watts, depending on
how fast and where I ride. So, it can get me from 16.5 to 17.0
61.5cm Homer (most recent batch) ~118.75cm wheelbase. The Homers have
definitely gotten longer faster than the Sams have. I found considerable
overlap (for my uses) between my Sam and Appaloosa. I no longer have the
Sam but I still have an Appaloosa. I now have a Homer as well. It has Paul
All items sold except the brooks c-17 saddle. Make me an offer if you're
interested.
I have a nitto big rear rack I'm not using but would only be interested if
a buyer was local. Thanks all!

For those interested, Russ put up his review of a Susie. It's a pretty good
one:

That's "Ive gotten quiet a few "yikes" with the Platy (and Appaloosa--not
shown in pics) on bus racks." I put the bikes on there to test the length
and feasibility. I wouldn't put the Platy on a rack if the bus was to
move! :)

Jim,
Like you and Emily (three happy Platy riders--mine is 55 Mermaid) at first
I was taken aback by the prices, but I got to test ride the Chev,
Appaloosa, Sam and Atlantis all in my size at the shop before I bought in
2017. For me, it was that one run around the parking on the Appaloosa
The OP asked the classic "which Riv if you could only have one?" It's not
clear to me whether the OP realizes how little that question has to do with
bicycles or Rivendells and how much that question has to do with people.
There have been a good spectrum of replies, not directly because
Thanks for reading!
Patrick: Wow, I really appreciate the kind words. I'll need to check out
some Craig Montgomery.
John: Lovely hills and a great pic.
Brokebike: Thanks! You're right, it's quite nice out there.

Nah, your point was understood. This explains why when I ride my friend's
58 Toyo (with the equivalent of Billie bars), it's doable, but just to big

Ah dangit, I think I said that backwards.
Shorter version: the original Atlantis was designed with drop/moustaches
bars in mind, the size you need depends a lot on which types of bars you
run. Pullbacks like Bosco or Billie? Go big!

Well it's all quite subjective and there's so many variables involved,
which is why Grant doesn't like to post geometry charts. According to your
PBH and saddle height numbers you're kinda on the cusp of 53 and 56cm on
that early Atlantis page, and you have to consider that this was still deep
This is good to see but slightly unfortunate. There are a couple beautiful
61 cm Atlantis's for sale but as a 92PBHer, looks like I will indeed need a
64

Not trying add complexity to the topic. I have a 83 PBH and ride a 54.5
(Toyo) Atlantis I purchased new from Grant back in the 2002/3 timeframe. I
am not sure how long Rivendell actually made that frame size but for me it
feels like a custom

Gorgeous ride recap and photos! This Kentucky boy is always envious
whenever I hear about folks who get to ride in the Shenandoah area. For my
money, its got to be some of the prettiest countryside I've experienced in
the US. I need to make an effort to cross the state line and explore riding
79pbh, 31 inseam, and I own a 2004 Atlantis in size 53cm.

I'm right there with you; 83.5 / 84 PBH, and my saddle height is around
72-73cm. From what I've read and seen, you'd probably be a solid 53 on a

comfortable to ride, it was really only because it had skinny tires and

Hello.
*Looking for an Albastache bar to set up on my new-to-me '87 Miyata 100LT*
I have a Jones Bar SG 2.5 Loop in Silver Aluminum, still in the packaging
(its a riser model) that I would trade.
Also have an aluminum Albatross bar I would trade.
OR I could buy outright from you.
Thanks!

Hi there folks,
I’m looking for a complete 52 Clem L in Seattle to share with my
partner as this size would fit us both.! I’m open to just purchasing an
available one, but also have wanted to use artwork as a part of cash+barter
sort of thing. Any leads would help, thanks!

I was running the Soma Oxford bar (essentially the same as the Albatross)
on my Midnight Special and wanted something a little wider and less swept
back but still with some rise. I put the Sycip JJJ bar on and have been
really liking it so far. It has similar sweep to the Singles Bar and is a

Hello, Rivsters,
Has anyone here measured the wheelbase of their 61.5 cm Homer? I've been
meaning to replace my 59 cm Clem H with a shorter (emphasis on the *er*)
wheelbase-d bike for months now, and only just started actively looking at
options. The wheelbase is the only real complaint I have
You're best off to contact Riv Yakeen as they may still have some to sell
you. I can't tell by your photo which version it may be currently, and/or
if it is the same model that had originally came with Clems, which appeared
to be a non-retail OEM version of the Tour E-Grip. That's the model Joe
