Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Atlantis?
Peter, I'd figure for the price of a custom, the Bombadil would be a starting point. Since I've never had a custom built I'm speculating but it seems they would help design one with your specific desires in mind or they might discuss why an idea may or may not be feasible. Just my 2 cents. ~Hugh ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle.

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Atlantis?
I love my bombadil but I don't see the point of buying one new nowadays if it's the same price as a custom. I know they are built to order but for that price I would want specific things that my bombadil doest have. Don't flame me here but if I had a custom like the bombadil it would be a true 58 with a level TT but still with 650b, and clearance for 60s. Just one man's small opinion.

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Atlantis?
A while back (ten-ish years maybe?) the Rivendell Custom order form had an option that said something along the lines of "like an Atlantis but fancier". I got the impression that a fancy Atlantis- inspired Custom was pretty common from the early literature and site. I am sure the people at Riv can point you in the right direction and tell you what has been done in the past. Cheers!

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Atlantis?
I friction shifted 9 speeds with Silver bar-ends, with no problem. (11-32
cassette, Microshift rear der). I don't pay attention to the ratchet
clicks, just move the shifter gently until the desired cog is engaged.
I've since retro-fitted to 7 speeds, but not because of shift quality. I
went back to my Riv's original ('97) Phil FW hubs and rebuilt them with
Synergy 650b rims.

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Atlantis?
For the record: Others will have their own opinions, but I shift a home brew 9 speed cassette -non-aligned ramps- with Silver bar end shifters and I don't have a problem. Perhaps I am more deft than others, or perhaps I have lower standards.
