Paul, Wonderful build, my friend. Atlantis-es been built in Japan by Toyo in the early 2000s and then by Waterford in the US until a few years ago when Riv offered up a MIT version. However, I have heard whispers that if you throw down enough cash that you can still get a MUSA (Made in the USA)

I second that sentiment on the practicality of mixtes for all folks. Mixtes are just pure magic. There was about a year after getting my Clem-L where I just refused to throw my leg over a top tube. It was all smooth Clem-L riding that I would do. M.O.M. Is also a delightfully confusing acronym for

Carl, I hear you. Sometimes these objects do feel like they create an exclusive culture. I would argue that they are just part of one of the many bicycling subcultures that exist in our consumer capitalist culture. However, those cyclists don’t represent the everyday bicyclist and those objects

Gosh, what a cool bike! Even though I have a Clem L and an Atlantis, I still pine after a 58 SimpleOne. It reminds me of my chubby-tire’d Swobo Accomplice, which was my gateway to the Riv world. One day maybe! On Fri, Aug 16, 2019 at 8:37 AM Jeff B wrote: > I bought a Simple0ne from a RBWOB
