That Atlantis is amazing. Have you seen the Ogre? It's like the troll but they actually make a size for us tall people. - Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion on the web visit

I haven't seen the Ogre in person. It looks like a good bike, it may be more bike than I need. With the Surlys the fork is the same length in each size, so you are limited in how high you can get your handlebars. I solved that problem with the Wald #803 handlebar: Over 5 inches of rise, about

Sweet bike! May you ride it in good health. It looks to me like you have studded tires on it - have you had problems with the studs chewing up your wood floors? curious as i added studded tires to my sam this winter for the first time and am worried about rolling the bike/leaving it on the

The metal studs are quite sharp. I had those tires so I put them on for now, once my Marathon Supreme 40's come in I will put them on and not ride it in the winter. I have used studded tires for a few seasons, I have Ice Spikers on my Troll. I kind of carry the bike when I bring it in, I don't

For me, the highest gear I can effectively use for any extended length of time on flat ground is around 85 gear inches. If I go higher than that, my cadence slows down, I feel like I am going faster, but my speed doesn't actually go up. And I don't think of myself as a slow rider. So even having

Looks great! Interesting cable routing... I never considered that this would need to be addressed should I ever want to add a basket to my front rack. On Jan 28, 7:34 pm, David T. davidtren...@hotmail.com wrote: This is my new 66 cm Atlantis, I got the frame from Mountain Sports in

I could have used the usual let it all hang out routing, but it impinged a bit on the space of the basket. For some reason I didn't like having all the cable under the handlebar tape, so thought I would try something different. It's winter so I have time for that sort of thing. :-) -- You
