That's a cool video. It's a bit "idealized" in that the Atlantis is being ridden with snow on the ground, but it doesn't have fenders. That's a setup for someone with a few bikes to choose from -- where there's snow, there'll be salt, and water, and slush, most days in the winter. Where I live, I could ride that setup maybe ten days between Thanksgiving and the end of February.
But it sure looks great -- Rivendell nailed the color on that bike. It just looks right, it's easily recognized, and even though it's just a hair off the classic Celeste Bianchi, it's clearly its own thing. cheers -mathias On Friday, July 28, 2023 at 2:33:46 AM UTC-4 Luke Hendrickson wrote: > Lovely, lovely bike.
