For all the fetishism around handmade, it seems to be a common excuse for
sloppiness and poor quality control. That said, I enjoy my Brooks saddles, and
tolerate their quirks.

I believe the 55 has a shorter 57.5 cm effective top tube versus the 59 cm top
tube on the 56. I'm not 100% positive on those specs however.

I own three Brooks B17-type saddles. Two have developed deformities in the
leather. I still ride them, but they are clearly deformed. My next leather
saddle will be from a competitor, maybe a Berthoud, if I can wrap my head
around the price.

David said it. Get rid of the Tektro front brake. I know people say they should
work with those fenders, but the reality is the clearance isn't there.

I love the look of metal fenders and hope to have them one day, but hearing
installation discussions like these terrifies me. I take long enough to put on
the sks longboards, cursing and adjusting along the way.
Give me a ten minute bike job and I'll make it an hour,

Edwin, it's true that aluminum fenders take a lot more finessing to get
right than SKS chromoplastics, or Planet Bike polycarbonates, but because
they're malleable you can actually get them to do what you want. I can't
ever get a perfect fender line with the plastic fenders, and have to rely

Yep. The deal there IMHO
I believe you are correct. The chainstays on my early model 56cm Atlantis
(over 10 years old) measure about 44.5cm. I've always thought that was a
little short for chainstays on a touring bike, so making them a little
longer was probably a good idea. That said, I've never had a problem with
First off, this isn't necessarily Riv-related, or even bike-related
technically, but it is Grant-related. If this falls outside the parameters of
this list, let me know, and Jim feel free to delete.
I've been following Grant's new blog for his new book and am genuinely
interested in the
Yeah, 46cm chainstays on the 26 Atlantis would bring it in line with the 26
Hunqapillar and 26 Surly LHT. I did read on this site that 700c chainstays
are now 47-48cm, so I guess it would make sense to lengthen the 26 models as
well.

I've lost 20 lbs since June.
I have read some of Grant's blog from his new book and I have read Just

What works for me: no carbs.No toast or grains for breakfast. Milk has lots
of sugar. I'll eat 2 scrambled eggs with some chopped turkey and onions.No

Thanks, all. I will probably try to have it sewed, either someone else with
a heavy machine, or do it myself by hand with button thread. Two pop rivets
would fit, but would look odd.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to strike a balance really, and I do enjoy
cooking and baking and am glad there are alternatives recipe-wise. That is
one of the things that has kept me from trying things is that I really
enjoy cooking and would need to come up with new flavorful meals. Not a bad

Had a free weekend. Ladyfriend was doing the first annual kitty-not-a-kitty
sugar extravaganza in LA.
Was looking to go camping but no one wanted to go in the rain. Go figure.
Since everyone else was riding the Del Puerto Canyon 200k I figured it
would a good idea to be social.
Good thing
