Several weeks back, with the hearty encouragement of this forums members, I purchased my first Rivendell - a used 58cm Atlantis. It was a deal that was too good to pass up, and I have been nothing but incredibly happy that I made the leap. Since the purchase, I have been tweaking the bike fit and swapping out some parts. I was able to recoup some much needed $$$$ with the sale of my Surly LHT and host of parts from my bin. This allowed me to make some nice upgrades to the Atlantis. Since the purchase I have swapped out stems to a 100 Nitto Technimic, added a Paul Neo-retro/Touring brake combo, splurged on the Tektro TRP brake levers, rerouted my brake and derailleur cables, and finally last night added yellow Newbaums cloth tape and twine to the Noodles. All that is left to do is get some amber shellac on the bars, and I am ready to ride! Through the process I have learned alot...mostly about the "joys" of tweaking with canti brakes and the importance of taping your brake cables where you want them prior to wrapping and twining (still might have to fix this one). Here are some pics:
