I think you'd have a tough time making an ugly Atlantis. They're beautiful bikes! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Tim, I like that look, too. I was headed towards settling on the silver/black vibe, then I popped the black Jones Loops on and ordered the Microshift drivetrain, so that kinda made the decision for me. What's cool is both looks work on this frame! -- You received this message because you are

Roberta, after a few days I can certainly say this is the best feeling bike I've ridden. Kai, I may remove the skateboard rack as it won't fit my current 10" board that I'm riding and have to strap it on the basket, which works fine too. I've thought about going smaller again but the big board

Thanks Edgar. I'm still playing around with saddle positioning hence the tool roll strapped on the rack instead of attached to saddle rails. I measured saddle height at 68cm last night, which I lowered a little (maybe 1cm) since the picture. My pbh is around 80cm. On Tuesday, April 16, 2019 at

It is an awesome bike. My first ride on an Atlantis convinced me that a Rivendell bike was in my future. I ended up with a Joe Appaloosa (less expensive two years ago), which is nowadays, nearly the same bike. You're right, it rides amazingly and I don't notice the bike weight either when

Very nice bulid Tim! What is your pbh and the distance between the center of the crank to the top of your saddle? Edgar > On 17 Apr 2019, at 4:05 AM, Tim Baldwin wrote: > > Tom, I was planning on keeping the Troll and putting 2.8s on for winter > riding but that Gus is tempting. Luckily not

Tom, I was planning on keeping the Troll and putting 2.8s on for winter riding but that Gus is tempting. Luckily not owning a car anymore helps in the money department. Collin, I've long been a bike tinkerer. So much so that my LBS is now offering me fill in shifts. The ride is definitely top

Looks like a bomber commuter! And isn't it funny that even though you've had the bike for about a week you're already going through iterations and tinkering? It's probably my favorite part about Rivs, second only to the ride. Enjoy the new bike and ride the heck out of it! Collin On Tuesday,

Well, that bike could take you there and back again, if ever one could. Looks bombproof, but comfy. Nice! Congrats, Tom PS. Don't think this will be your only Riv. Resisting is futile. You'll be poor, but in a happy kinda way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
