Hi all! Thought I'd give a quick introduction and share some photos of my first Riv - a used Atlantis which I just picked up two days ago!
I've been following the group conversations for about the past year, with limited participation but much enjoyment. I feel as if I know half the people personally by now. I've been saving my pennies for a Rivendell for a long time. I am located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and in June my wife and I are heading to California for 12 days, capping the trip off with a visit to the Riv Headquarters. I had intended to pickup a new Sam Hillborne, but last week a 58cm Atlantis popped up online and it was just too good to pass up. It has its fair share of paint scratches, but no dings or dents. I figure the first owner did me a favour and now I can shred it hard and not fret about putting the first scratch in the paint! I have most of the parts en route, and I'll be building the wheels up in a week or so (SONdelux front, Phil Wood rear hubs, both disc so I can use them for mountain biking as well), Velocity Dyad's (36 hole), Nitto Noodle bar, Technomic stem, some oldschool Avid Tri-Align brakes, Brooks b17 special, MKS Lambda pedals. I'm still hunting for some used White Industries mountain cranks, bar-end 10 speed shifters and derailleurs. I'll share the full build once it's completed! Here are a few teasers, as well as some photos I shot for a local shop of a beautiful Mark Nobilette they built up. Happy Friday! <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/14106216943/in/photostream/player/"; width="662" height="999" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/14086143615/player/"; width="999" height="662" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/14086625934/player/"; width="999" height="662" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/13899549558/player/"; width="999" height="662" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/14083185432/player/"; width="999" height="662" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/theworldisours/13899567150/player/"; width="999" height="662" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> More photos of the Riv, the Nobilette, and general cycling/riding stuff at www.markreimer.ca if you care. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
