Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Hi Ed, My PHB is 81cm. Actually 50cm Atlantis would have worked just fine for me. Ordered the smaller size with the hope that my wife (who's a bit shorter than me) will also rider the new bike occasionally. With 47cm Atlantis I think I'll also be moving to 13cm stem for my Bosco (with Ap

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Hi Ash, Congratulations! I am also considering getting one. I am currently using an older 51 Atlantis with Albatross bars. But I felt the cockpit too cramp even though I am using a 13cm Nitto stem. Would you mind sharing your pbh? Regards, Ed > On 17 Apr 2018, at 6:41 AM, Ash wrote: > > After so

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Thanks to Dave I was able to order a 59 today (have fun with the QB!). Maybe a bit on the big side but after a conversation with one of the nice young fellows at the global headquarters we decided that it was the right one for me. I'm going to run those super wide Crust (666mm) drops on it at f

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Dave, I'm 66 and don't plan to use drops on this frame. I went with the 53 because I wanted 650b wheels. I used Noodles on my Bleriot ten or so years ago and liked them though I did not often use the hooks. As the years pass and traffic increases, I now prefer to be more upright...but not 90

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Lester, If I recall the 51 Joe has a top tube 1.0 cm shorter than a 53 Atlantis, so that also might be better for drops. I had an email conversation back and forth with Grant last year and he was pushing hard to ditch the drops altogether, he doesn't see the point of even using drops, especially i

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

My pbh is 83 and according to Will I was between the 50 and 53. I went with the 53 because I wanted 650b wheels. The 50 would have been a better fit for me with drop bars but I'll use MTB bars on it. Since the new frame geos are a departure from the traditional I'd call Riv and discuss B4 orderi

Hi Lester, What is your pbh that they recommend a 53 Atlantis? Thanks, Ed Fausto On Wed, Apr 11, 2018 at 1:15 AM, Lester Lammers wrote: > Howdy Bill, > > I suppose it would depend on body type. My 55 cm Cheviot has a 57.5 cm ETT > and I'd need a very short stem for drops. I'm still considering

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

As far as I can tell if you rode an old 56cm Atlantis you would now be on a MIT 53cm Atlantis and you would have essentially the same reach (a mm or 2 less) and 5mm more stack and a cm more crotch clearance on the MIT 53cm. -Dave J On 4/10/18, lconley wrote: > I also need to check seat post siz

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Similarly I called Riv Bike too to discuss sizing. I would like to purchase a MIT Atlantis as a dedicated tourer and keep my SH in dirt mode. I was thinking I'd be somewhere between the new 56cm and the 59cm...but was told that I'd be on a 53cm! My pbh is 84.5 and I find that very surprising.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

I’m a 87. I called riv, talked to Rich, then ordered the 56 upon their recommendation. I’ve already got an Atlantis and I’m excited to try it in 650B. I’ll likely keep both. Matt B Oswego, IL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" g

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Hi Dave, That's what I do, too. My PBH is 88cm. Extrapolating from the Appaloosa: Based on predicted standover height I might take a 59cm, but then the TT would probably be too long and it would have a double TT, which I don't want. The standover on a 56cm is a little lower than I have with

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

Is there info on exact tire sizes for the different sizes? I'm between the 59 and 62. I like fat tires so I think I'm comfortable with the 59 which is exciting as the recent sizing has not made me feel like there was a bike out there that'd really fit. I'd prefer that they did fat 650b all the w

Re: [RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

As Keith points out standover heights are listed so you can also do PBH - 2.54 = standover as a starting point. That is to say the Standover should be 1in less than PBH (1 in crotch clearance in bare feet). You can fudge 1 cm larger since you are wearing shoes which lifts you up, and 3cm maybe 4cm
