Armand, No, Paul won’t do cerakoting for you. This was done through Analog Cycles, who have access to a cerakoter. You can get special ano Paul stuff, but I don’t think they will offer the same level of choice. These brakes were mismatched on purpose, and so were the levers, an Analog

Hi! To answer your second question, no you cannot make an 80s bike into a Rivendell. I have an 80s Mountain Bike and an Appaloosa. The Appaloosa is great, and it fits me a lot better than the 80s mountain bike. The 80s mountain bike is 80% of a Rivendell, but it's that diminishing return, that

Re: [RBW] Is an Atlantis Worth It?

You should get an Atlantis and if it’s too heavy to commute, sell the Cimmaron (they’re very collectible too) and get something lighter for commuting. Or keep them both and get something lighter also! I have an Atlantis and it’s my lifetime bike, best bike I ever had.Liz in Sacramento On May 23,

Re: [RBW] Is an Atlantis Worth It?

Hi Max, I've done quite a bit of commuting on my Gus Boots-Willsen(s), and although I haven't ridden an Atlantis, I'd imagine the Gus is even more overkill than an Atlantis for commuting. I really, really like that bike, so even though I have others that are theoretically faster on pavement, the

I know this has come up before regarding Rivs (or other artisinal bikes) and commuting butif you really want that Atlantis AND you can keep it secure during the workday go for it...or can you justify an n+1 and keep the Schwinn for commuting/errands...or can you live with/plan for

[RBW] Re: Is an Atlantis Worth It?

@Hoch -- A 3 mile "commute"? That's what I've got and I might ride three different bikes in a given week.. it's more about fenders and lights when needed than the riding experience. What "riding experience?" As soon as it starts, it's over, I don't even get warm on a cold day until I'm mostly

I’ve had somewhere around 50 cancers surgically removed. One melanoma and the rest basal cells. I’m of Irish ancestry but grew up and still live in SoCal. My skin type doesn’t belong here for sure. I basically stopped wearing a helmet and wear wide brimmed hats when I ride. I also wear sun shirts

[RBW] Re: Is an Atlantis Worth It?

Mostly everyone is responding with their heart, which is expected. Atlantis is a touring bike. Heavy duty frame, large tire clearance. Exceptional bike. I had two Hunqapillars, which I see as equivalent to the Atlantis. For touring and/or slower long distance rides, I’d say go for it. For a

[RBW] Re: Is an Atlantis Worth It?

I was in a similar situation to you not long ago. I had a heavily Rivendell-influenced Fuji touring and a Kona Smoke. Last summer I was able to stop by Rivendell and ride a Clem and an Appaloosa. I loved them both about the same, except that I'm not crazy about the look of the step-thru Clem.
