What, no front low rider mounts? That's remarkably strange. As for the
three mounts on the seat stays, I can't really guess what the lowest ones
are for (an extra set of low mounts on the stays would be very useful on a
bike with disc brakes though), but aren't the top ones just for a regular

Do you want it to feel like a standard racing bike? I used to race on
a much smaller bike than the Rivs I own, and I'm glad I've gone

recommendations but they aren't aiming for a racing bike fit.
I'm 185cm tall but my PBH is only 88cm, so I

regarding your sizing dilemma I vote that you should listen to Rivendell's
recommendation. I've heard many people say they've regretted not
following the Riv recommended sizing and went too small because of

Johan: the Atlantis has never had mid-fork lowrider mounts. Of course, Riv has
always promoted and sold Nitto racks of the non-lowrider variety.
I can envision a number of possibilities for the fork crown mounts. A porteur
rack is a possibility, but it may also provide a solid mounting point

Has anyone found a good way to mount the German wide-angle mirror, that RBW
sells, to a fork in such a way that it's in a horizontal orientation,
instead of vertical? I've been experimenting with it this weekend, and
think I would get a better view of the traffic back there if it were
horizontal.
I too take 57 cm c-c as the benchmark for my tts, but this is for (1)
a 73* seat tube angle, (2) saddles (Flites or Turbos) all the way back
on the rails on large-setback, older Dura Ace seatposts; and (3) a
moderately agressive drop bar position with bar about 3 cm below

out to be sunny most of the way, low 40's for a high.
