Some of those photos do look familiar, esp the Nevada trip. You've loaded
your A/R down as much as I have my Atlantis, judging by the Oregon trip
photo. Another tribute to the versatility of Grant's designs. So yeah,
I'll bet the A/R is about a pound lighter than the Atlantis. For that you
Thanks all for the compliments. I'm really just guestimating on the
weight. I think others have hit on the AR and Atlantis differences
adequately. The AR is a bit lighter and "lively" I suppose? I've
certainly toured on my AR even if it is not purely a touring geometry
bike. Others may have al

That is a beautiful build. Nothing like a full tear down to allow you to
clean all those hard to reach places.
One question: you mention 26 lbs weight (carbon assisted, chuckle). Seems
kinda light, if that includes the rack & basket. I recall weighing my 58
cm Atlantis one time
I'm not sure of all the nuances, but I believe the all rounder never came
with 700c wheels, which the 58cm and larger Atlantis frames do. Beyond
that, I think they are really quite similar. I wonder if the tire clearance
is the same? Atlantis can fit 2.35 slicks.

I'll try my best. I do not have an Atlantis, but my fellow Winnipegger Mark
R. does have one. My 1997 A/R was Waterford-built w Reynolds 753/531
(forks), and was meant to be a do all. It is a more refined version of the
X0-1 which I also have. Both are 26" wheel sizes. I favour the moustache

The AR was long gone when I discovered RBW but it's a bike that interests
me. For those who've been following Riv for a long time, how does the AR
differ from an Atlantis? Is the Atlantis a slightly tweaked production
version of the AR or are there substantial differences?

I really like the build...now I'm not jonesing for racks and a basket yet
for new custom but given that you are a teacher who commutes regularly and
you have to schlep things back and forth, the build makes total
sense...Addison, your bikes are always very tastefully appointed

This is awesome!!! It's builds just like this that convinced me to get a
Riv in the first place. I love how the 26" all rounder's look. Just so
perfect. Great job!

Great build!
If I may make one suggestion: throw some shellac on those VO cork grips. I
rode those grips w/o shellac for about 8 months and they started cracking a
quickly fell apart. Shellac may help that... and they'll probably look even
better!

That is a gorgeous bike. I like the build you have. Well done. A front
basket is on my list to add to one of my bikes.
Thanks for sharing,

I've got to jump in and applaud the new build. Of course, the AR seems to
look great no matter the wide variety of build combinations. But since
your current configuration is similar to my evolved favorite, I'll jump in
and say, "Well done, sir!"...
...and thank you for sharing.
