My assumption is that it is the result of "Rivendell" - the original production models from Waterford - becoming the high-end customs, so they needed a way to differentiate the production Atlantis from the customs, then kept at the practice as they became more of a "production bike" company again. I personally dislike this approach. I owned a Romulus, and never liked the name much. I always wished that it was a "Rivendell", with the model name in smaller letters on the toptube. I can see the problem, though. In the early '90s Schwinn established a road-and-MTB line called "Paramount", while still producing custom high-end Paramount road bikes. That probably pissed a lot of "real Paramount" owners off, and still causes a mess on Craigslist. Sooo..I don't really like the practice, but can't think of a way around it. Helpful, no?
