I am looking to get my first of two Rivendells and having a problem
deciding which is the best to go with. I have decided that I
absolutely need an Atlantis set up as an all-around tourer. I am
confused on the next bike though which will be the first one ordered
as I don't have a tour planned in
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I was thinking two bikes because one would have drop bars, barcons and
front and rear pannier racks and the other bike, the trail worthy
bike, would have bullmoose bars and paul's thumbies with a small
front and rear rack. I could probably do with one bike though,
rides?
or,
2) How about an Atlantis as per above, and a Gomez mixte (650b) with Alba bars
for errands, commuting, rain (with fenders) and occasional trails?

Interesting idea. I was thinking along the lines of making the
bombadil or hunqapillar a bullmoose barred, paul thumbie, small racked
with small bags when the needs arise, singletrack capable machine and
the Atlantis the tourer with drop bars and panniers. If an Atlantis
will work fine on the

Maybe a Hillborne/Hunqapillar-Bombadil mix?

The AHH and the Bombadil or a Hunqapillar might be the solution,
sticking with the Bombadil would keep me strapped to 650 wheels which
isn't a terrible thing. I'm not sure what route I am going to go with
yet, I will probably wind up ordering the first bike in a month or
two, so I have some time.
I actually would rather have albatross, flat bar/bar end combo or a
mustache than drop bars. I don't like using brifters and find most
drop bars too skinny, plus I don't like to ride in the drops so the
bars aren't for me. The wider the better for me.
I can't say I have ever wanted drop bars
Nice bike.
I have pondered which first riv to get and the Bombadil makes the top
two everytime. I know exactly the setup I want for it if I choose the
Bomba, just don't know if it will beat out the Atlantis that I have

I have always heard to set up mustache bars with a shorter stem and one
that is higher (compared to drops) and it has worked for me in the past. A
longer stem makes me feel like I am reaching too far all the time.
The one thing you miss out on with mustache bars vs. drops is a good lower
