Brian, If you venture toward NOLA send me an email. I am new to the area but have been riding my Riv as much as possible to explore the back roads of south Louisiana.

[RBW] Re: New Atlantis! - First Riv
Congratulations on your first Riv! As they say in Philadelphia, it's "Bee-u-tee-ful." The first Riv I ever rode (test ride only) was an Atlantis, which made me understand the "riv ride experience." It rode magically. I do I wish you many happy miles.

[RBW] Re: New Atlantis! - First Riv
Really handsome bike, Brian - congrats! I have the continental contact speed tires on my SimpleOne (42s I think) and really like them. I recently mounted a rear rack on my older Atlantis and am using Banjo Brothers' "Market Panniers" for mid-week grocery hauling. Such a stable bike, handled the ~25LB load kike it was nothing, though admittedly that's only about 1/2 the max I should be able to haul back there. I'm sure you'll have fun figuring out everything that bike can do! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
