Thanks Doug . I have a homer too for my road miles . I love the ride feel .
So homer like with v brakes for trails and new colors are tempting . I
hover around 165 -175 lbs , so probably Sam can do everything that Atlantis
would for me . When I got introduced to Riv ( I live very close to Riv HQ)
I'm not being critical, just curious. The Sam seems more of an all-rounder
and the Atlantis more of a touring bike? I just bought a Roadini to ride
mostly road miles.

To add another layer to the Atlantis history, does anyone else recall the

Most of this is coming from (pretty foggy) memory: I believe there are

Here's another one showing the curve of the Toyo chainstays well. It has

One of the difficulties in identifying builder/age is that there were
running changes right from the beginning.
I think you can pretty safely identify the Toyo frames by the shape of the
chainstays. They had a graceful S-shape, with a curve behind the bottom
bracket for tire clearance; then
The OG Atlantis was a production frameset made in Japan by Toyo, based on
