climb up it like a latter.

Mitch,

I whole-heartedly agree. I'm in and out of SLO this year, but if I'm here I 
would love to join. I saw you riding back from Cuesta on the 1 the other day. I 
went there for almost five years and loved it. It's nice to see other people

Steven,

Of course that's Hank's new Atlantis. It's the 4th Atlantis I know of in 
San Luis Obispo.

George, me, Hank, and one mystery owner.

The drive side Sugino crank on that bike is one I picked up at the Riv 
garage sale. Hank had to buy the LH crank.

Hank has been talking about a local Riv ride soon, that may have to happen.

[RBW] Re: Portland Riv-ish Ride

[Beth H]

A shorter O option might be either:

a. Take MAX to end of the line in Hillsboro and ride out to Stub Stewart; OR

b. Ride out to Oxbow and back (breakfast at M & M in Gresham the next 
morning would be a nice option).

Dates might be tough on this since everyone is busy. 
And I'm with Lynne on this -- just require that people arrive clothed and 
shod and call it good.

[RBW] Bosque ride, with sand!

[PATRICK MOORE]

19 miles, 1:49, 15 miles of dirt, 6 miles of sand deep enough to make
me work hard at 7-to-10 mph in the 36X20-22-24, just two bailouts due
to the front wheel washing out, only 100 yards or so of walking, tires
at roughly 12/15 (tires checked only after the fact; I let air out
when I got to the first sandy patch using a well-trained thumb). 91*F,
6% humidity, winds from south at 15-18 mph, and since the ride was
entirely North/South along the River Valley, utterly flat. Much of the
trail -- Water Conservancy District acequia access 2-track -- was
heavily used by horses with the resulting choppiness. Despite the
obstacles, a very enjoyable ride, since I made myself take it easy.

I mean to do two back-to-back rides, today's in the bosque,
tomorrow's, God willing, on the West Mesa sand hills; this to show in
photographs the vast geographical and faunal differences that exist
only a few miles apart. I had hoped to take more photos today but my
memory card clogged after just nine -- must learn how to reduce
resolution -- any experts onlist for old Cannon Powershot SD 300? (As
for accessibility, I found that my right jersey pocket was a very
convenient stowage for the camera).

[RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

Among the various distinct groups of "cycling misfits" that are drawn to 
Rivendell, the tatted and pierced anarchist/punker/hipster is well represented. 
I was going to point this out in the Riv meets Riv in the wild thread, to point 
out that not all Riv-types have much in common, aside from bike brand choice.

[RBW] Re: Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis

[dougP]

I'm going with Mitch on this one.  I used to secretly yearn to be hip
but found myself on the trailing edge of whatever is cool, so I just
gave it up as yet another unattainable goal.  And now I find my choice
of bicycle is cool!

A few years ago, a couple of my touring buds & I were coming down the
Oregon coast, self contained.  With 4 bags & more crap-on-the-rack,
it's hard to tell what color a bicycle is, let alone make or model.
We took a break at a park as a crew for one of the big bike touring
companies was setting up lunch for their clients.  One guy recognized
my Atlantis, dropped what he was doing & came over to chat about the
bike, our trip, etc., etc.  You'd think a guy who works for a touring
company would have seen a lot of bikes but he really appreciated the
Atlantis.  My guess is he really wanted to quit shuttling people up
hills, fixing flats and making lunches and just wanted to take off on
his own bike.

To plagiarize Mark Twain:  "Get an Atlantis, you will not regret it."

[RBW] Re: Green 2TT Hillborne in Salt Lake City

[Darin G.]

I think Brian sold his Ram.  I'm sure I saw the 2TT Hillborne in Mark's 
shop last month waiting to be built.  Mark sold me my Hillborne (the 
original green 1TT, no longer mine), I'm riding a used-Rom that he 
connected me to and he built my Atlantis.  My wife's LHT also originates 
form there.  Great shop, and as you say we are lucky to have him in town.

I'll look into the Edible Wasatch.

Not me but there are quite a few Rivs around SLC. I see a couple on Rams 
riding through my neighborhood quite often (on the bike lane to the UofU), 
the last time I rode the Cycle SL Century there were about a half dozen 
others, and there is a Brian (?) in PC who rides a Ram and posts here often.

Mark at Saturday Cycles sold me the most comfortable bike I ever swung a 
leg over. I imagine that Hillborne came from his shop. We are lucky to have 
him in town.

I'll be riding my blue Boo on the Edible Wasatch ride Saturday so say 
"hello" if you're there too.

"All Atlantis owners are hipsters under the skin.  Mitch Browne"

Good one!

As a multiple-Rivendell owner over the years, I've never owned an
Atlantis, even though it's the Riv frame that is closest to my wants/
needs. My reasoning is simple...I'm not cool enough to ride an
Atlantis, and deep down, I know it. The 1-in-500 cyclist I might
enounter out on the road who would sense the incongruity of "me" on an
Atlantis, and surely pass silent judgement as they rode past!

Re: [RBW] Re: Albatross OR Bosco

[René Sterental]

If you suffer from any pain in the neck, shoulders, hands or back, my
experience has been that they've all disappeared with the Bosco bars. None
of the other bars I've tried (Noodles, Touring, Albatross, Moustache,
variations of drop bars) were able to do that for me.

[RBW] Bicycle Courier In Love with My Atlantis

[Darin G.]

I ordered a sandwich from Jimmy John's this afternoon which was delivered 
in the typical prompt fashion by a heavily tatted and generously bearded 
bicycle courier.  The courier saw my Atlantis, parked in my office, and 
became so distracted after ogling the various details that he walked out 
the door without handing over my lunch.  He sheepishly returned minutes 
later, bid me* bon appetit*, and asked a few more questions about how to 
twine and shellac handlebar tape.  I find the courier crowd generally hard 
to impress when it comes to bicycles, and briefly imagined myself to be 
hip.

Sounds nice. May I suggest an option-S24O to some point in the Gorge? For 
those unable to O, they could get an early start the next morning and 
meet-up with the O-ers for a rambling return leg. Though, now that I've 
typed it, that seems to be pushing the distance for a group ride.

In any case, keep me in the loop!

That is true; it is one of, what, just three -- ? -- such cranks in

I bought the Horse posted back when RBW was selling off the extras for a

I didn't own a BStone at the time but thought the poster was beautiful.
Sweetie pair someone to frame it all nice for me as a gift.
It hangs in the dining room and covers a large patched hole in the wall 
where a mirror used to hang.
It is extremely valuable in its ability to cover that patched section of

[RBW] Re: Albatross OR Bosco

[Marc Irwin]

I use both.  I have the Albatross bars on my city bike, a Soma mixte, and 
the Bosco 
Bars 
on 
my new 
Hillborne.
 
 I like them both, but would prefer the Bosco for any longer ride.  I am 
sticking with drop bars on my Hunq, but only because I use it for loaded 
touring although the Bosco bars would be a tempting change for that also. 
 The Bosco bars have a much better "aero" position than the Alba, but not 
as great as drops.  The Bosco provides more variety than either the Alba or 
drops.  You won't regret using the Bosco.

[RBW] Re: Not as pretty as the new Herse cranks, but ...

[Johan Larsson]

What makes the Herse crank really stand out in my opinion is the ability to 
set it up as a double with a small chainring, 48/28 for example, while 
keeping tread/q-factor as low as possible.

[RBW] Re: Bridgestone poster value

[Joe Bernard]

That's amazing. I remember when they were in the dollar box at The Pedaler 
in El Sobrante all those years ago. I paid $65 for one of each on Ebay a 
year ago. Still have them unopened in in the tube they came in because I 
haven't decided where to hang them yet. I guess I should get on that...
