Come on, if you want a "truss" frame, nothing beats the Kirk Magnesium for 
ugliness!  Good Luck!

The impression of the one long continuous curving tub from rear dropout to 
head tube really "flows" .  

I'm not saying to make it just like this, rather to look at the endless 
possibilities of coolness :)

[Toshi Takeuchi]

Went to RivHQ this weekend and rode the Truss-frame Atlantis 'round the
block.  It is really nimble and fast handling.  It definitely didn't feel
heavy and slow, which is what I usually equate to a bike that is shod with
fat knobbies. It definitely would be fun to ride in the dirt.

Correct, I wouldn't call a 59cm bike "medium". Seconded about RBW Blue, too: I 
have it on my Cheviot and it looks WAY brighter/prettier than online pics 
reveal.

Re: [RBW] Re: Truss-frame Atlantis!

[Patrick Moore]

I have to say that it does look very nice -- that frame is, in fact, one of
the best proportioned that I've seen; the curved lower tt is perfect --
aesthetically.

But man, I have to say that adding a second tt to an already stout frame in
a medium size just makes me cringe, philosophically: I rather regret the
old, more utilitarian Rivendell ethic.

I'd buy a single tt Atlantis in a minute if I had more money, more room,
more time, and less conscience (must maintain a just ratio between actual
miles and number of bikes, y'know), but not that one, even if it looks -- I
admit it -- even better than the original.

I recall Plato saying somewhere that the basic geometrical shapes straight
and curved lines, the more primary polygons and 3-d shapes, have an
absolute beauty; and I really think this frame caught something just right,
aesthetically (I wonder if it would look as good in a 50 or 64). I'd hang
it on my wall. But I don't want an unnecessary tube!

I have an ANT truss bike.  Love the looks but it doesn't fit me real well.  
So, that is my bike set up on the trainer which is a shame.

Earliest on the Iver Jonhson Truss was is 1901.  I have a circa 1908 being 
restored.  A dented up frame only, having to scavenge for parts.
I'm not sure if the Fitchburg Historical Society is having the Iver show

I'm on the preorder for a 59. At first I was a little disappointed it

as opposed to the sketch that was posted, I can't wait. It looks great.
