Hi Bob -
Given that I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I don't experience much in
the way of cold weather. Your mention of the Wim Hof method piqued my
interest though. I have been practicing the Wim Hof method for many years
now. I bathe in cold water. I'm a diver, so I wear much a thinner
Roberta,
That mermaid blue is so pretty! As I alluded to in my "chameleon" comment
the first couple pics I saw seemed green, then the last ones Leah posted
definitely show the blue. I'll bet it's going to keep color-shifting in the
sun like her Raspberry Metallic Platy does and will be
Beautiful! Congratulations!

I did a 1x11 a few years ago, with a Silver downtube shifter. That feeling

Bill asked if I had an Atlantis that bridged between the old MUSA/Japan
version and the MIT version?
Bill knows his RIV's I'll give him that. It's an MIT modern version, no
downtube bosses and it's a 53cm so 650b.
For what's it's worth I appreciate the stem shifter recommendation.
Hugh Smitham
Hugh asked for a 26.8mm seatpost, 650B tires, and downtube shifters for his
Atlantis.
Are you sure your Atlantis frame will take downtube shifters? Old MUSA and
Japan Atlantis' had downtube shifter bosses, but those frames were 700C or
26". The newer MIT Atlantis take 650B in the medium

The home page has a rotating set of pics of people working on or riding

Well one of the interesting questions that follows from the Riv/Crust

The only example I know of for certain is Stooge Cycles in the UK, which
has an approach based on limited runs of production

Looking good. Regarding the sub categories, which indeed can be helpful,

categories--Parts, Gear, Garage Sale, etc. By clicking the "+" sign next to
