Hey, Luke:
Please forgive off thread topic question but what cantilevers are you running
that allows you to run a 2.4 on your MIT Atlantis. I'm building one now and
part of my decision to get an MIT Atlantis was seeing on Riv's website the
ability to run a 2.4 "comfortably." I called Riv to ask about 2.4 clearance,
and Will was gracious enough to fit a set of 2.4 front and rear and get back to
me with his findings. He said there was a bit more room out back, about 5 mm of
clearance between tire and stay, and a little less room up front, about 3 mm of
clearance. Surfing the Riv site the other day, I see they changed in the bike's
description for tire clearance from 2.4 to 2.3.
Please share your thoughts on brakes choice and tire clearance.
Thanks so much,
Scott

Hey Masa!
Great question. I currently have a MIT Atlantis set up with cantilevers and a
rack and larger Maxxis tires (29” x 2.4” in the front and 29” x 2.3” in the
rear). I’ve found that it’s a pleasurable upright cruiser around San Francisco,
a real ripper on mtb trails in Marin, and a wonderful commuter. I believe that
it would fender rather well and be a great bike to do some randonneuring as
well. The main reason I would get another Riv would be to keep thus bike as-is
rather than changing it each time I wanted to do more road-ish riding with
fenders. Then again, fenders and a tire change/second wheelset would solve
that.
I have been anxiously awaiting the next lugged iteration of the Roadini. I
tried Will’s out not long after this last batch and it was a smooth and stable
bike. Nimble and grounded while being zippy, I immediately wanted to build up a
road bike around that frame. As is, I’m going to wait it out for the next batch
of them and see how I feel then.On Monday, December 5, 2022 at 9:52:42 PM UTC-8

Hi all, I would like to ask you how you would choose 2 Rivendells if you could
own.
Which models? What kind of purposes? What kind of weather? What kind of roads?
Any definition is welcome.
I'm currently riding a Platypus and I feel like I can ride it everywhere for
any purpose as Riv says it's an All-rounder so I just would like to know how
you would add one more Riv or how you are riding 2 Rivs already as a reference
(possibly for my future 2nd Riv).
I hope you enjoy the topic!
Masa
