Absolutely love this build. Sort of hope that Riv does a tigged (cheaper)
Hillibike so I can add one to the collection.

measure 49-50mm in reality, and there was at least 5mm per side thru the

I haven't heard evidence of more than the two prototypes (though I'm far
from "in the know" as well), the one which is silver-ish might be the color
but I don't see any blue in it..
Interesting that that page notes the frameset, since I was last told they
would only be offered as completes.
I adore this bike, thanks for posting it up! I don't think I'm quite ready
to give up my full suspended mountain bike because our trails are rowdy
(steep, rooty, and technical) but otherwise I'd be very tempted by either a
hillibike, or a Jones.

In my case having an e-bike makes me take far fewer trips by car than I would

It's a matter of this isn't a Riv-sponsored group and some of us like these
new lightweight motors and batteries on our bikes. They're not bicycles in
the pure sense, they're a different thing that can be useful and fun. It
just so happens that Riv frames make a very good base for a kit.

Hi All,
It's not the beautiful Riv fillet version, but it will get the job done if
you are hoping to try some 31.8 bars on your 1" threaded bicycle.
Ordered it back in August, but too short for me after more cockpit
fiddling...
$80 shipped would be awesome!

Keep your dream wheelset plan. But in the meantime go online and order a
cheap stop-gap wheelset because if the wheels are what's keeping you from
riding the only Platypus outside the Riv showroom that's just sad. Then
when you get the good wheels you'll appreciate the bike even more because

Oh, how depressing. I suppose I suspected delays (what with the Sams having to
go out first and all) but I’m so deflated to hear it regardless. But yes, order

they’ve been delayed until mid-December. Which is when I’ll
I saw that the delivery timeframe was updated to 2021. The good news is
that I bought my Silver crankset before the Sams dropped. Now they are sold

Does anyone know if clearances increased with the cantilever versions?

I recently set up my Atlantis with a Mark's rack and medium Walk zip-tied

You're right. I had forgotten the first green ones were canti. For some
reason had it burned in my brain mine was sidepull. Just checked some old
photos. Nope. Canti mounts. Looks like I was using V brakes for most of the
time.
Wonder if it was because the Tektro long sidepulls weren't
I had a first edition Sam, all green with no cream or white,
pre-double-top-tubes, and with cantilever brakes. Orange and sidepulls
obviously came afterward.
Why did Rivendell start using calipers on the Sam? Cantilevers are a

Thanks guys. Yes, stable in a good way, planted and naturally following
