I can't believe that's a 61cm model!   The 650B wheels make the proportions 
very similar to a 56cm frame with 26" wheels.

I think it's this dude's bike 
 (more 
pics here ). According to the article, 
the bike was a rather extensive crash rebuild, and needed a new fork. Heck, 
it was even converted to 650B from 700C. This isn't a "sacrificial 
Atlantis" but a resurrection. Even though Grant swore he won't make 
disc-braked bikes, he probably wouldn't be dismayed at this particular 
example, since the bike is enjoyed as intended, with beausage all around, 
and outfitted with parts Riv staff will find familiar.

[Joe Bernard]

Perhaps he won't speak up! I've seen it, too, and I don't think he wants to 
rattle RBW's cage by showing it here.

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom, not a custom

Someone on this list modified his original-issue Atlantis for discs and was
very happy with it. I forget who, but he sent me a photo -- best of both
worlds (for off road, at any rate), IMO; and a very nice bike.

Perhaps he will speak up?
