Hi Richard,
That is quite an experience you had interacting with those traditional
mountain bikers thinking that your bike was a cruiser. It proves that not
everyone has heard of Rivendell Bicycle Works. Life happens.
I am very happy for you that you are in love with your new modified cockpit

Not really shamed but while having a really good ride at one of my favorite
trails I passed a couple of riders on their traditional mountain bikes.
They caught up to me in the parking lot when my bike was already loaded
into the car. They asked " was that you that passed us on a cruiser bike?"
Unless I’m mistaken, the “Atlantis 2” is what Grant decided to call it when the Rivendell Atlantis was conceived. This was because the original Atlantis - or “1” for the purposes of this discussion - was a Bridgestone offering.On Nov 10, 2023, at 6:15 PM, dylan green wrote:Thanks everyone. To
Thanks everyone. To build on this, was there any difference in the chainstay lengths between what I guess is considered the 1 and the 2 in question?On Nov 10, 2023, at 3:07 PM, R. Alexis wrote:A Waterford built Rivendell Atlantis will have a distinctive rear frame drop out. I think Henry James
A Waterford built Rivendell Atlantis will have a distinctive rear frame
drop out. I think Henry James rear drop outs. The first Rivendell built
there didn't. Grant has drop outs made specifically for the bikes. Looks
like they went with the Waterford standard ones on the Atlantis. This is at
Look at the serial number on the BB shell. If the serial number wraps around the edge of the shell, it’s probably Waterford. If the number goes across (from L to R), then it’s probably Toyo. Also, Toyo should start with AT.My 2008 Toyo has the ornate, pointy lugs and lots of white detailing. I
The serial number would give you a definitive answer. Or if you’re
concerned about revealing the entire number, just the orientation around
the bb and general letter/number sequence.

What size is her Clem? The current 52 is VERY long, this puts weight wy
out there when she's moving it around and lifting.

Hi everyone -
currently speaking with a seller of an atlantis 2 - dated 2011. This has
the cream accent panel on the seat tube. My old atlantis had a 2 but no
cream accent panel. Just to clarify, the 2 on the seat tubes does mean both
are the 'Atlantis 2'? Given it's 2011 - would this be
Just echoing Garth's sentiments on some of the hefty Schwalbe tires:
I have the little Big Bens (700x38, true to size on ~18mm inner rims) on a
single speed bike. Despite the tires weighing over 650g each I enjoy riding
this bike both on and off pavement.

I can only add that Schwobble's Big Bens are also inherently very flat
resistant and quite fun despite their relative heft. I've ridden other
Kenda tires and it seems to me that they ride like hell even in lighter
weight folding varieties !
The Big Bens also rolls real easy, like a low
I knew there was a frame/bike I forget, the Handsome Cycles She Devil
models.Once again these will be considerable lighter to pick up and move
around when not riding, which as far I read is what Chung is referring to.
I think buying another super long chainstay model would be a costly
mistake.

Jake,
That is interesting that the bikes are about equal in weight but one rides
"zippier and lighter". I've heard this before in comparing the Clem to the
Platypus but I just don't know what qualities makes a bike feel zippier if
it isn't lighter weight.
Thanks,
Doug

Good catch, Reeb! Seemed too good to be true, I deleted my post :o)

I agree with what Garth is saying about weight/size differences. Depending
on the respective builds and how the sizing falls, it's possible that a
Platypus could be every bit as long and heavy as a Clem. As people in the
81-84cm pbh range, I have a 55cm Platypus and my dad has a 52cm Clem, and
I don't know why I would talk someone out of another bike. Tell her to grab
a Platy. Listen to Leah not me.
The completes are pretty nice. There are some parts I would personally want
to swap but overall thats not a terrible setup for a complete.
On Friday, November 10, 2023 at 10:04:03 AM
Jacob, Hopefully no harm to bike or others.
I had a Kuat beta and for a hanging bike rack, I though it was terrific. I
now have a Saris Freedom (tray) and like it even better. The part that
touches the frame has flexible channels for the wires to sit in, so very
little actually touches

Here’s my 2023 Appaloosa F/F/HS, still new in the box. The frameset has never
been built and the box is still sealed.
Free local pickup in Berkeley. I can deliver it to a bike shop or UPS store of
your choosing.
Reasonable offers considered.
I'll post pics when it's put together. :)
In the meantime, perhaps Chung's wife can try a Platy.
