I like free Range and I used to talk to the original owner about Rivendell all

[RBW] Good Problem to have? FS/FT

2019-06-26 Thread Anthony Childs
I've wanted an atlantis but,  now I have two!  

I bought a new MIT Atlantis 53cm frame. soon after I came across a 56cm 
waterford complete at a good price, so I bought it... I don't really need 
an extra frame and I'm not sure I can return it, nor do I want to 
(understanding the struggle of a small business) 

Do I sale the new frame (in box)?

OR! I would be willing to trade for a different Riv. Cheviot would be a 
great different style or a complete clem L

 Another option would be to build the MIT Atlantis and sale it complete??

What do we think?

Nice, a lot votes for back Alley.  I live in Ballard and I’m familiar a lot of 
the bike shops mentioned.  I feel like most places just think it’s weird that I 
don’t want/have disc brakes.  Back alley is a new one for me though!
