I have a similar set up on an old Fat Chance, and it is 4 1/4" to the top
of the straddle wire on the brakes. So it will not make it under your rack
but might clear over the top of it.

I did not own and All Rounder but did have an Atlantis from the first
batch. It was a beautiful bike and a pleasure to ride, but was a bit
harsher than I would have liked. Maybe it would ride better loaded but I
never rode it that way. I much prefer the ride of the Rosco Bubbe I have
now. I
I have the Spank Oozy pedals on my Chameleon and like them a lot, metal,
low profile, and availabe bushings that are easy to replace. Too bad you
don't like composites, I also have Race Face Chesters on a couple bikes and
find them to be just as good and much less expensive.

I have a brown B67s that was mounted and ridden less than twenty miles so
nowhere near broken in that I would trade.

Neither the Atlantis nor the Rosco ping like my old Fat Chance, also a tig
welded frame. And it is also still fun to ride. So I agree with Bill, I
don't think the lugs make much if any difference there.

Interesting that you chose to highlight Chris Chance and his designs. You
beat me to it. I have been riding Fats since '87, currently on my third

iterations over the years, now running a Boscomoose bar and very upright. I
Congratulations on getting exactly the right size frame for you. It will be a
joy to ride. Look forward to photos of the build.

I have seen this bike in person and can honestly say the photos don't do it
justice. It is a beautiful and functional bike. The buyer will be very
happy. As far as sale price I think Bill is correct, probably $2600-$3000.
It cost a lot more to build but all that matters is what someone will

I can't believe you haven't sold this bike yet. How often do you have the
opportunity to buy a Radavist featured bike at this price? I love my Rosco,
I think it rides better than my first generation Atlantis did.

It comes down to function. Are the cranks the same length? Same Q factor?
Does the front derailer on both bikes work with both cranks? If function it
is all the same then you have to decide if you want your wonderful wife to
ride a bike that could now be less than as pretty as it was. I mean,

Oops, sorry, have not been back on here since this morning. The finish on
the bars is not super shiny, although not dull, per the photos Garth shows.
Just like Kai, I don't notice the a sparkly, maybe because I am not
sensitive to it. It is cloudy today and tomorrow so I cannot try it in
The welds on my boscomoose are the same color as the rest of the bar and
are no more or less shiny than the rest of the bar. Maybe it is anodized?

My Rosco Bubbe. Please forgive me if it is sideways, it does not show like
that on my computer. I love it on singletrack and pretty much anywhere

Deacon your story reminds me of a mountain bike race, I think in the late 80’s.

Almost forgot, the derailers are both Shimano 105, the rear is a long cage
version, currently running friction of course with the Suntour XC shifter.

I see the Hunq is still on the website, but not availalble, but not shown
in the catalog. But then there are many things on the website not described
in the catalog. And handlebars in the catalog not shown on the website.
Looks like there is some updating needed.

As the owner of a first generation Toyo built Atlantis I am torn. I know the
original was made to be a less expensive All Rounder, so the new plan sticks to
the original brief. But just as the All Rounder copy became the Atlantis, maybe
the new version should have a different name.
