Hey Gang,
Just reading about the stolen Atlantis and the importance of keeping track
of the serial numbers. I was looking at my Atlantis the other day for just
this reason and can only find Rivendell stamped on the bottom bracket.
No serial number. Did the early Riv's not have serial numbers?
Looks great. I like the long head tube and gentle slope of the top tube on
that frame.
If you want to mount a frame pump I can highly recommend the Klickfix
pumpfix on a welded bike. I got mine at Wallbike but they currently don't
have them on the site.
Warning: It is my understanding that

Great to see an '80s GT Karakoram still on the road... and in such great
shape. Nostalgic glimpse back to my first mountain bike. I had their
totally ridiculous black crackle paint. Always a fun bike in the rain,
sleet, snow or sun that was well-loved until it was stolen in the late
'90s.

only sell it if I acquired an upgrade like an Atlantis or Hunq. Hey, I can

I don't think I've heard of any Atlantii which didn't have serial numbers.
It's possible that it wasn't deeply stamped and may have filled in with

Great work. One tiny quibble, though. The general consensus is you don't
need to run leather washers at the fender eyebolts. Generally you only run
leather washers where the fender attaches to the frame. It probably won't
do any harm to have them there, but it's not necessary.

Loss of fluids reduces potassium levels which can cause cramps similar

For some people, simple salt supplements work well enough, and V-8 juice
