A year ago I bought an RBW Atlantis frame, but never finished building it up. When Alex Wirth posted a "For Sale" notice of his remaining RBW bikes, I fell in love with the Appaloosa, especially the fork crown. Sure, the Atlantis has a lovely fork crown, but it's the same as the crown on my Rivendell-designed Soma San Marcos (bought from fellow lister Nick). Since I already have an example of that crown, I bought the complete Appaloosa.
Therefore I want to sell or trade: 2018 Rivendell Atlantis MiT frame, almost-but-not-quite new. 59cm. $1250 plus shipping. Mounted some components on it, but it has never been ridden. As the pictures of the front fork dropouts show, I put a front wheel on, but as the rear dropouts show, there's never been a back wheel on. There are a couple of tiny chips in the paint from shelf-wear. I'll include two unopened bottles of touch-up paint: one bottle of Testors #2135 USSR Naval Interior Blue/Green, and one bottle of Waterford's "Atlantis Green". The Testors #2135 paint is hard to find, some sources say it has been discontinued, but I found a bottle on the big auction site. I will included the following parts: a lightly used Sugino XD2 triple crankset with 175mm arms and one 24 tooth inner ring. A Nitto S83 2-bolt seatpost. I buffed the seatpost and the inside of the seat tube, applied a little anti-seize compound, and the seatpost fits perfectly and adjusts up and down without getting scratched. It tightens up fine without slipping, and without overtightening. The Nitto "Dirt Drop" stem of your choice. Both are in very good condition. I see that I didn't put pictures of them up at the link, but you know what they look like, don't you? Grin (credit to Deacon Patrick for "grin" (TM)) (That's intended to be a friendly joke, in case it isn't clear) A Nitto RM017 "Albastashe" bar OR a Nitto RM016N "Mustache" handlebar. Both are used but not bent or dented. I cleaned the tape residue off of them. The place where the stem clamps is lightly marked on the Albastache, and more heavily marked on the Mustache. Both bars are lightly marked where the brake levers were clamped. I would like a nice lady's-style bike for my wife. She's 5'6" tall, and strongly prefers a step-through, girls'-type bike. I think she would like a Betty Foy (more desirable) or a Clementine. I can't find a sizing chart for the discontinued Betty Foy, but based on the reviews of the bike I have read I think a 55cm or 58cm would fit her. Thank you for reading. If it would make a trade more desirable, I also have two Nitto racks that are surplus to my needs: Nitto "Big Back Rack", Large 33R, never mounted on a bicycle, some shelf wear from being moved around from time to time (mostly it hangs from a dowel in the rafters) [new price $220]. Nitto "Big Front Rack". Some superficial wear, not bent or dented, well cared for. Just checked the RBW website and didn't see this rack available, but the last time I saw it available, it was the same price as the rear rack ($220 new). I'm not sure how to value the racks in trade, if you have a step-through bike to trade, let's try to work something out. https://photos.app.goo.gl/c2bkB4veayXr54R8A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
