If we want to consider cruel, a visit to a slaughter house, where our meat 
comes from should be under consideration.
Our industrially produced food can also be seen as a display of human arrogance.

100% thumbs up on the Fat-Lantis!

Subject: [RBW] News around today's RBWHQ visit

Today I visited RBW headquarters to order a frameset.  This year I sold two 
700c Rivendells (a 58cm Atlantis and a 55cm Appaloosa) in order to help pay for 
two 650B Rivendells.  I mocked up both of the 650B candidates to my saddle 
height (75.5cm) and took the canonical garage door photo of each:

56cm 650B Atlantis

53cm 650B Hunqapillar



Notably the Atlantis was wearing 27.5 x ~2.2" knobbies, which made it look 
super butch.  That's the main reason I'm sharing the photo(s) because that 2017 
Fat-Lantis is a bit of a novelty.  The 53cm Hunqapillar is a little bit of a 
downsize for me, but I think that would be my son's go-to bike when we do S24Os 
together, and he's an inch or two shorter than me and not likely to get to 
5'-10".



So, I went ahead and ordered the Atlantis, which is exciting.  I went with a 
small upcharge to order a non-standard but Waterford stock color.  I will keep 
it a secret, but I promise it is not a unique Atlantis color.  One of you has 
an Atlantis that I am blatantly copying, because it looks so darn good.



I was expecting a not-too-long turnaround, but Will explained to me that 
everybody from Waterford takes massive time off for deer-hunting season!  That 
cracked me up.  Anyway, now is just about the worst time for frame turnaround 
from those good Wisconsinites.  No harm done to me, as I've got plenty of other 
bikes to tide me over, but be warned if you are going to order something, that 
you will be well into Spring before you get it.
