Just curious if anyone has heard anything. I was surprised to call
and find that the Atlantis was no longer available in my size - they

Global economics.
The Atlantis is made in Japan. Dollar to Yen has not favored Riv
buying and holding a lot of the frames. As a result, Riv is moving
more to the Taiwan made frames.
The Atlantis is a Riv icon. Otherwise, I suspect Riv would have
dropped it. As it is, and as you post, Riv
Now that the Atlantis is built by Waterford in Wisconsin, it's
probably much easier and cheaper to special order odd sizes. When the
Atlantis was built in Japan, the cost of building one odd sized frame,
shipping it to the US and getting it through customs would have been
prohibitive.

Missed that.
As Mark says, with production closer by, Riv may have some more
flexibility with sizes and add ons.
Interesting the way things work sometime. Who would have thought 10
years ago moving production back to the U.S. would
Was looking for a 63/64 - I think the Atlantis used to come in 64.
We didn't get too far into the discussion - so I never asked about
price.
They also suggested a Bombadil, but I don't care for the double tube.

The Atlantis sizing chart on an old flyer I have shows 61, 64, 68 in
the larger sizes. Since the basic design is timeless, maybe post a

Is there any difference (tubing, angles, etc.) between the Japanese
Atlantis and the one now being made in Wisconsin?

I would imagine the tubing is different - or, at least, a different
brand. I doubt the geometry would be changed.

I assumed this thread was going to be about all the new 4-size models
(Hillborne, Hunqapillar, initial Bomba offering), not the 10-size
Atlantis.
They (RBW) still have the historical Atlantis geo-chart up on the
'Frame Specials' page:

but I am thinking the flux used to braze the frames, well the Japanese
frames will have Japanese flux and the Ameri-Consin frames, it'll be
