I am about 150 lbs and think that the AHH that I have rides well with about 30 lbs of gear on my rear rack. If the Atlantis is a bit more stout than the AHH, then I would lean toward an AHH or the Hillborne for you, since you are about 25 lbs lighter than me. I am favoring the Hillborne for

[RBW] Re: The "One Bike" for a featherweight?

I don't have one, so can only speculate, but Sam Hillbornes are supposedly somewhere in between the Homer and the Atlantis on the stoutness scale. Now that they're offered with canti/V brake posts, they supposedly clear 48mm tires too. They also build up great as touring, trail, or road bikes.

Everything that's been said has been super helpful! Chris, your post is a really good direct comparison for me, because our weight is nearly identical. I don't prefer a rock solid feel, lively would be much more the ticket. I think for a bike to feel lively to me, there aren't many Rivs that

Some good points have been raised here, and I'll echo the advice to ride what you have until it doesn't work for you. I've been riding a Heron Road (bought from Riv in 1998 or so) over mixed terrain (including gravel) with 700 x 28 tires 20 years and have only JUST converted it to 650 x 38. While
