I was about to say "great, now there will be more normal reach brakes on
the market", then I realized it's probably got disk brakes. Oh, and forget
friction, it's probably built for electric shifting only with no cable
stops at all.

Thanks! It's a 60cm. I'm using the Sycip JJJ Bar and the Silver 2 shifters.

Bike Friday rear rack- info HERE. Kinda cool, it folds flat for travel, 55lb
weight limit. it's tall enough to fit on a 26" or 650b bike too. i can measure
if you are interested. has some weird connectors attached to it that i assume
are for fenders.

While prepping for a FB live class this week on steering, I happened to look up

Deacon,
When you say 'try bowing out', I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean
bending the stay so that it is parallel to the face of the dropout? This is
essential for proper stay attachment, it reduces all sorts of stress along
the stay and at the fender.

I've tried the lot and like the Berthoud and Rivet saddles best. The Mente
however didn't work for me and I gave it away. I suspect I was not upright
enough. For a wider upright saddle my favorite is the Rivet Imogene. I
found it comfortable out of the box. I got the unslotted allroad model.
But do note, Brooks, Rivet and Berthoud saddles all feel very, very
different from each other. They may look similar, but the feel is very
different.

I've ridden (and still ride) Brooks B-17 and Berthoud Mente and Aspin
saddles. The widths from widest to narrowest is Mente > B-17 > Aspin. My

of riding I do on it. For touring, the Mente wins. For general
Hi Joel,
I have both Brooks and Berthoud saddles and prefer the Berthoud for a leather
saddle. It does appear the Boulder Bikes has a couple of black Mente in stock.
Another option to look at is Rivet. Their saddles are nice as well and they
have a “try before you buy” program.

My Crosscheck was about 25 lbs and when stripped down, was fairly swift.
I’m guessing, weight wise, that might be a valid comparison with 25lb
Roadini. That gives me something to think about.

You can purchase directly from Gilles Berthoud in France. The website has

I’ve ridden Brooks forever, I had decided to try narrower than my B68 as Oi
rubs my inner thigh and is annoying. So I started reading on my old trusty
B17. Wow, so many models and opinions, now some discontinued. Then I
stumbled onto a few (many) comments and threads on Berthoud saddles.
Ryan, I ride with Albatross bars. The TT on the Atlantis 650b 50cm and the
51cm Appaloosa are the same. Given that it would be just a touch easier,
in my mind, to get the bars higher on the Appaloosa but maybe I am wrong.
My standover is a bit more than 80.5. The TT slightly brushed me on the 51
If I remember correctly, the Appaloosa was designed with the Chaco bars in
mind, so more swept back and has a longer top tube length.
I have a 51 cm Appaloosa and have had the Chaco moose bars on it originally and
now have a set of Bullmoose bars on it. The change in riding position was
That's a great looking build. I recently helped a friend build up a purple
poly, and it is an impressive bike. Easy to build. I'd very much reccommend it
to anyone who wants "Riv-adjacent" aesthetics with disc brakes.
If Riv is going to push for more riders to ride V brakes with drops,
I was lucky enough to find a kind list member and tries his 51 Appaloosa
that I am leaning toward, if one shows up I will snatch it up. Just want
to try the 650b Atlantis but until now I did not understand these are new
for 2020.

How many 50cm 650b Atlantis’ do you figure have been sold? My guess would be
about 20. What percentage of Rivendell customers frequent the relevant Google
Groups boards? I’d guess probably around 1/50. Maybe less. What percentage of

Kim is pretty tall. Her Rambouillet is a 66 with custom root beer colored
paint. Her Brothers Atlantis is a 68
and i doubt anyone has ever gotten more pleasure from their first ride on a

The Redwood really is
Last year the 50cm Atlantis was a 26" bike as we discussed earlier, so I'm
not sure how many 650b versions are actually out there in the wild.
The posted geometry pages haven't been updated since 2019 so I'm not even
sure what all has changed.

Otherwise
I find it hard to believe there is nobody within 2 hours of Springfield MA
with a 650b 50cm Atlantis. It would be such a great help to see and
standover one.
