If Grant built his own frames in house, is he required to pay Union
wages? He ought to start a school and teach smart energetic kids how
to weld and he could make his own steel lugged frames in Walnut
Creek...Sure the good ones would eventually leave and start their
own companies or go on to
Howdy folks.
First off these are the silver anodized ones and I wish I had gotten the
polished ones for this particular bike. I have them laced and true, but
never brought them up to full tension. Just lately I have been thinking I
really want the polished rims and I am poised to order a pair.
Can you provide some more details on the rims and hubs? Excuse my
ignorance, but I don't recognize what CR-18s are.

I hadn't been to Aaron's Bicycle Repair in West Seattle for a few
years but stopped in on my ride today. They had five or six Atlantis
frames and two Bleriots (57 and 55). I seem to recall someone looking
for a Bleriot. Anyway, there you have it. http://www.rideyourbike.com/

Thanks to all who responded and thanks even more to all who shovelled their
cash at me. I am beleaguered and harrased this weekend (8 year old daughter

Nice collection of lugged goodness. But I seem to detect a theme for
their bike builds: extra long stem extensions and bar height far in
excess of saddle height.
Looks like many of those folks would be positioned like they're
driving a bus.

Looks a little wonky to me too, but hopefully it worked for the
customers. I give them credit for turning me onto the Riv sizing
method. The shop itself is awesome; Rivendell, Nitto, neat parts, as
far as the eye can see.

Been waiting for the proper weather to try these out. Finally was
cold enough with snow on the ground today. My intent was to get
something to wear over wool (not so) tights in winter that was visible
but would keep wind and slush out. They succeed on both counts. Did
twenty four miles today.
No, that's a typo.

Cool photos. If those owners are local, then I imagine you couldn't go outside
in Seattle without running across an Atlantis. I need to visit Seattle.

I am building my first Rivendell thanks to my brother getting me a romulus
frame for X-mas(pretty cool gift). I've got my drivetrain coming from my LBS. I
need to select seat post and stem and I'm looking for some suggestions and if
anyone has anything for sale let me know. Here are some pics

Funny you would say that.
I bought my Atlantis at Aaron's. I have a 79cm pbh and he put me on a 51cm
bike with a very tall nitto stem.
Within 6 months I decided it was too small for me. Fortunately someone on
the ibob list had the exact opposite problem.
Their Atlantis was too big and they

Don't be so quick to equate renting a room and not owning a car as a
student lifestyle. I'd call it living sustainably. Most students I've
interacted with are all to quick to jump behind the wheel, and it's hard to
