[RBW] First Post - A (Fixed!) Atlantis
Hi y’all! You may recognize me from some of the many for sale posts I’ve responded to/things I’ve purchased from this list! This is my first post, though. Up until about a year ago, I didn’t actually own a Rivendell - I did set up a few ‘90’s mtb’s with albatross bars, but albatross bars does not a Rivendell make. I had my heart set on an Atlantis, but never had the budget to make it happen. A few came and went on this list, and eBay, but none ended up working out for me. Then, I test rode an early Toyo Atlantis at Golden Pliers in Portland, OR in 2021, but the tire clearance was just not enough for me. Fast forward to almost 3 years later, August 2023 - I’m scrolling on instagram, I see a post from Golden Pliers. A 2018 Atlantis frameset. In my size. Someone had bought it and never built up, and was selling it through the shop. I didn’t even wait a day - the next morning, I called and paid for it over the phone. I fretted a for a while about the long chain stays and their aesthetics, and then just decided to get over it. It’s taken me about 6 stem swaps, 3 bars, some months (almost a year, as I look at the calendar) to get it where I want it, and it’s still not perfectly there! (I’m sure many people from the “Your Riv’s Next Upgrades/Parts Swaps” thread can relate).

[RBW] Re: "Riding-a-bicycle Zen"
Thanks to all who have participated to this thread. Wanted to throw in my two cents (also as a reader, not a moderator), and say that I've really enjoyed learning more from this thread, and am inspired to ride more harmoniously and with greater mindfulness and intention. I personally like climbing hills because I find it easier to achieve that "zen state" that Erik wrote about earlier; I'm definitely going to read some of the resources mentioned above to try and cultivate more experiences like this.

[RBW] Re: An Appaloosa build video
Brendon, That was a wonderful video. I didn't think any of the footage was bad, and you should give your partner props, they did a great job editing. I did laugh at the "parts bin" comment in the video description; I wish I had a parts bin like that!
