I still believe that Rivendell is a great store and I appreciate the bikes they offered and the push they made for "un-racers", so I placed an order for some items I had been thinking about. I own six Rivs and most were bought used because I could not afford the model when they were still being made.
When I could finally afford a high-end bike, the Atlantis was the bike I was going to buy. There were no other options to consider. The Atlantis was the first bike I saw and thought "Wow!" Thankfully, it was the one I wanted the most and it was produced long enough for me to finally get one. When they offered the MIT Atlantis, I bought one of those too, to be a bit more careless with and because it offered me the ruggedness of the Atlantis with 650B wheels in my size. I admit that I was a bit hesitant of this one at first, but I am extremely happy with it. It is 90% as attractive and considerably cheaper. I wish it was available 15 years ago...assuming 650b tires were available too. (Thanks for that push Grant!) I hope the company works out. I don't agree with everything Grant sells, but I appreciate it as a whole. Cheers, Matt B.
