Agree with both Jim and Leslie on this. If you are looking for a Rivendell, then maybe a Bombadil would be closer to your needs. Have also owned both an Atlantis and (currently) a LHT and the latter is a stiffer bike. Not huge, but noticeable. And weighed more than you, Charlie, when I had the Atlantis. Also agree with Jim on the shifting matter. Couldn't get Silver and 9 speed to coexist on my bike. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN

This would be less likely with 7/8sp cassettes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
