Splendid! That saddle alone is worth the price of admission. Do you have the
headbadge? It's my favorite, but I can see a point to keeping it minimal.

Jonathan,
Glad to hear the deal worked out well for you! Looks like a really nice
build. Having the ability to quickly swap wheels with different tire sizes
seems like a great option. Are you running the 10 speed indexed or friction?

I'm hoping the Riv group brain-trust can help me out with ideas. We're
planning to take 3 bikes on a road trip in our Honda Odyssey - with 3
people and luggage for a week-long vacation. No bike rack and we want the
bikes inside the vehicle. Anyone have a suggestion for compactly, yet

Erik. My Atlantis was never posted. Someone on the list emailed
me when I had expressed interest in buying one to say a friend of his was
selling. I was actually in St. Paul at the time but wasn’t able to test ride.
Ended up just purchasing. I don’t regret it.

My typical method for bike transport in an early 2000's Subaru Forester is
to remove the front wheel, drop the passenger-side rear seat and send the
bike in head first. A bungy cord keeps the bike and front wheel upright and
against the outside wall. I recently did this for the first time with
After I read this, I slapped my forehead and exclaimed "but of course!"
Atlantis now has downtube shifters, facilitates stem changes until I find the
happy spot.

I don’t track mileage but still think I’m riding more than ever. I’m also doing

will still be on the bike at that age.

Adam,
Looking through the WTB website, it looks like the 700c version is more
cross/gravel oriented, while the 27.5/650b version is more MTB'y. This may
be the source of different feel/rolling experiences. I'm guessing the 700c
is built with a thinner sidewall with less tread that results in

I'm going to disagree with Adam regarding the riddlers. I used some
27.5x2.25 riddlers for about 120 miles before I decided I did not like
them. They are quite heavy and are quite slow (at least by feel) on the
pavement. If you end up getting something knobby for your loose conditions,

Collin,
Ah that would make sense. I have never tried the wider version, so this is
very likely. I'll bet schwalbe is the next good place to look for this
request, Furious Fred, perhaps.

The light/fast TCS version, which I am assuming is the high TPI folding
version you are describing. They worked well in the loose and dry
conditions, though, so not all bad :)

I believe I did around 2,400 miles last year, which was mostly commuting. I
didn't really have "a goal" so, it was what it was.

My goal was 3,200 miles minimum with a hoped for target of 4,000.
Good news is I've already hit 3,500, but

Index shifting. I feel like a heretic. I am fine with friction but like the

great. What ties are you running?

Hello fellow Rivendellians,
Quick question on the last run of Quickbeams (silver color with caliper
brakes and mid-fork rack braze-ons) - I am perusing old geo charts on the
interwebs and I can't tell if Riv actually made a 51cm in this silver run.
51cm is my magic number and I currently have
Locked luggage rack on top, make room for Rinko-ized bikes inside?
Rear bike rack, dust off after, bring inside along the way or lock up as needed?
Uber minimalist packing, ram and cram.
That’s all I’ve got. We haul our family of 6, with gear and two kids bikes
inside, all other bikes on racks
There appears to be a 51 cm for sale on SF Bay Craigslist.

I'll bet if you Rinko the bikes you wouldn't need a rooftop luggage rack
at all. Even an "Easy Rinko" without removing the fork would save a

Jon, one of my methods I've used to make mini-goals inside my macro-goals

Lynne,
Having a similar need, I fabricated a solution that would work for our
Mazda 5 micro-van. Using Thule truck bed fork mounts and a sheet of
plywood, I made a removable carrier that I could secure 2 full-size
bikes with room for a 3rd if you pull the back wheel (or if it's a
kiddo bike).
Sorry to hear of the theft. Odd, though very fortunate, that they left so
much good stuff behind.
I've rarely had to park a bike in a dangerous location, but I do park
outside some of our local grocery stores, with my kit in saddle wedges or
frame bag and, so far, so good. I even have a HpX frame
It probably won’t happen again. I leave stuff in my saddle bag all the time
here in Philadelphia and only once did someone rummage through it in 10 plus
years. Still a bummer though.

Thanks Bill,
The reason I was looking for a smaller version of Huge Rosco MTN Mixte were
precisely 4 (more aesthetic) reasons:
1.) Uses Hunq fork instead of Joe fork for larger tires
2.) The Hunq fork is can fit the Nitto 32f mini front rack which i already
have
3.) The seat stay cluster is
