Bill:
Specifically, which model Nitto bull bar, clamp diameter, and width bar are you
considering running?
I'm building an Atlantis, too. And I'm strongly considering a bull bar and
wonder what you're on to.
Thanks,
Scott

Good luck with your build. I’m in a similar situation, but mine is a rebuild
of a 15 year old Atlantis. I already have replaced the wheels with Atlas rims
and am on my second silver crank so I’m not going new on those. New Paul brake
levers and Canti brakes have arrived along with ergon handlebar grips. New
monarch pedals, nitto stem, Rivendell shifters, and sim works super yummy tires
have been collected. Im leaning toward the Nitto bull bar as my reinvented
Atlantis is going to be an all rounder. The final cabling and adjustment will
probably be done by my lbs as I like a well tuned bike and I don’t have enough
confidence in my mechanics.
It’s been fun researching and making decisions. ~BillOn Monday, January 16,

Congratulations!!!! How exciting when the planning and futzing over the bike
and parts finally come together. Any changes in parts and such while thinking
over the build? I know when I built the Rivendell Mountain I went back and
forth on several items. Thought of doing an 8 speed freewheel, but it seemed
much when accounting for the hub set up and scarcity of 8 speed freewheels.
Planned on doing a Nitto built Ritchey stem, but going with the Softride
suspension stem was a strong pull.
Take it slow, don't supper force anything. Take it easy with the hammer! Lol!!!
Thanks,

I had to say it: "Just ship it to me".
If Vince knew any better, he would have talked me out of it. I've never
built a bike from (mostly) scratch before, and of course it had to be a Riv.
Gutsy. There may be other less flattering words for it.
Learning from all of you has given me false bravado to forge ahead, so I shall.
Picking parts has been a delight. I have been embracing the anticipation of
arriving shiny bits as patience will most definitely be virtue. Just one more
box from Riv and I'll have all I need. I think I have a hammer around here
somewhere.
If I blow it, you'll never hear from me again. If it rolls fast and true, I
will post a glorious, victorious photo from Flatistan, FL.
See any parts you like? Wish me luck!
