Max, splendid!
I bought an Atlantis f/f from Riv last month and have a build in progress, so
I've been vacuuming-up build directions/options/possibilities. And thanks for
the reasoning behind your cockpit design...creative and functional.
Thanks for the dirt!

That's my Atlantis, yes. It's one of the originals, I think I bought it from
Rivendell in 2003. I am not sure if that makes it a Toyo or something else,
but I guess Toyo.
The saddle is a Selle Anatomica:

As for the cockpit, those are regular in-line Paul Cross levers on the
handlebars:

My reasoning - i.e., the experience that led me to start putting in-line
cross levers on my bikes comes from long rides with long downhills. After six
hours or so of riding, they provide a comfortable alternative to braking in the
drops. When I'm tired, I like to have hand-position options for the Pine Flat
Rd descent (3,000' descent), or one of the other hills around here.

I've wiped the drool from my chin and have a few questions about the Atlantis,
please. I assume it's yours.
Is it a Toyo model (I don't get the Atlantis squared decal on downtube and the
downtube shifter bosses)?
What saddle is that?!
Can you speak to and describe your cockpit and reasoning behind it, namely the
multiple brake levers (is one a pass-through/slave)?
Happy Holidays, all!

Legolas - fast and fun, light. Always makes me happy.Atlantis - same but more
rock solid.
My favorite bike... is whichever one I'm riding at the moment.
Happy Holidays everyone, stay safeMax BeachSanta Rosa CAOn Tuesday, December 6,

Hey Masa!
This is a cool companion to the occasional One Riv To Rule Them All threads we
do around here.
I'm currently a one Riv (and one folding bike) person, my custom is a
low-stepover kinda-pavement-oriented bike like your Platypus: It'll go just
about anywhere but wasn't designed for hardcore off-road riding or full-on
touring loads. I've done some shopping runs on it that I could feel in the
frame was probably pushing my luck with how much weight I was carrying, so for
me my second Riv would be heavier duty. I've also recently moved to an area
with a bunch of fire roads and singletrack, and although my riding
interests/capabilities would preclude major mountain biking escapades I'd still
like to know my frame could take the abuse.
So I'd reach as far from my lightish roadish frame as possible, which takes me
past the lugged frames and into Clem or Gus territory. What I end up with -
if/when I decide to do it - would depend largely on money and opportunity to
pick something up. I really like the Gus but they're pricey even used and
rarely available; Clems are great and easier to find. I've owned a few and
imagine I'll have one again sometime.
I hope this was helpful for you. I saw on another thread that you asked Leah
for a comparison of her Platy(s) and Clem L, I hope she chimes in here, she has
much to say and says it well! 🙂

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!
