Was doing a google search for "go fast Atlantis" just an hour ago. Spooky.
Also, maybe we should go for a ride sometime!

I took off the RTP's and switched to the compass 26x1.8" (41-42mm actual)
and much prefer them for pure road use. I don't know if they are any
faster, they may not be, but I like the road feel better. The RTP make you
feel sort of disconnected from the road. RTP's are better on the gravel
I may be getting rid of my other geared road bike and may just see how I do
with the Atlantis as my all-arounder in the mean time.
I currently have the RTP tires on it that are pretty great for dirt and
gravel. Something else maybe for a 'racier' set? (yes, i just asked for a

Hi all-
So, I'm selling my 61cm AHH. I purchased it a year back on this very list.
I love the ride (and it's beautiful), but it's a bit too small in the seat

photographed it with the seat height at 76cm (see below).

P.S. I've also read on this list about folks who've modded their Rivs with
higher offset forks from e.g. Tom Matchak with reportedly satisfactory
results, so if there happens to be any overlap in interest with disc
brakes... :)

Fair enough. Was thinking more about the longish chainstays, slack STA &
lowish BB, (e.g. size-up-able geometry) than of fork offset.

Hi Michele,
Out of curiosity, how much weight are you planning on putting on your
front rack?
I use the Nitto 32F front rack w/ a basket on my Hunqapillar. The
version Riv sells now is sans front tab that could possibly catch on a
nobby front tire if the rack failed.
I know it
Thanks guys! Sounds like the racers may be the way to go.

For folks interested in a disc-braked rivendell, take a look at the Crust
Romanceur. It's lugged steel, has 1" threaded steerer (bonus in my book),

mid-2000's riv than current.

I'll echo Deacon Patrick's comments about just loading up and testing it,
and it sounds like you're taking that advice. There's probably nothing more
important than test riding your tour load, regardless of the way you're
going to carry it. I'll further comment to say that when I was preparing

I dont think anyone has said they need disc brakes to stop. Most people have
bikes with both types of brakes. Its just something different and while not
everyone will choose them, they do stop more quickly and easily. Is that a
requirement? No. Will some people choose it? Yes. Will some

Thanks all for the input. I've never had a front rack before, and it's a
bit confusing. I notice that in the 32F page, Riv says, "ALWAYS use this
