I think the photo on the Riv site of the white and red Roadeo with Sram Force components did this to me. I'm currently saving for one now. I love my Sam Hillborne, but the Roadeo will fit some of the faster riding I am doing much better. On Monday, March 12, 2012 2:48:32 PM UTC-5, jinxed

Tim - Just saw this; thanks. How does the Atlantis look for fenders with the 60s? What are the actual measurements between the fork legs and stays at max tire width? Anyone want to trade a trike for an Atlantis??? Used the Fargo with 35 mm Kojaks to go to Presanctified (ie, reserved Eucharist)

Personally, I think the Hunqapillar has replaced the Atlantis as my ultimate goal. I don't know exactly why, maybe it's that extra bit of ruggedness + the Diagatube. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32306142@N07/5043949624/in/pool-1358127@N23/ I know how you feel. On Monday, March 12, 2012

So, ye of multiple Riv fat tire bike knowledge: compare ye the Hunq, the Bomb and the Atl and describe the ride differences on- and off-road in excruciating and unmitigated detail. I see that the Bomb takes 60s with room to spare and that the Atl don't; Hunq? Would love to have a Riv to replace

Patrick, All I know is the Atlantis. I've got 60mm Big Apples on my 58 right now with plenty of clearance and I've run fairly knobby 2.2s or so. I can look in the am for clearance details with the BAs if you like. I think you would love the Atlantis for everything you do. Regards, Tim On Wed,

Same here; Atlantis is my only data point. Biggest tires I've used are 40 mm so I've got lots of extra room. Here in So Cal the sandy stretches are short. Off-road is mostly clay adobe that isn't much different than concrete, so road tires are fine. I like the ride with the 40 mm Marathon

This discussion is making me think that in a year or so if things settle down, maybe should be looking at an Atlantis again. Are times when I miss the one I sold, although it was seriously too small for me. At my weight at the time, it worked. Took less effort to get on and off. Doesn't

An Atlantis will do that to you! Thanks for the link. That's a great color, and they look so good before we clutter them up with racks'n'packs. I'm plotting what color to re-paint my Atlantis for it's 10th b'day that's a possible. For some reason darker colors are catching my eye. dougP On
