return the one that doesn't fit. I've been doing that for years :) All
manufacturer sizing really doesn't mean much because there is no universal

I was using the time between sets of push ups (too yucky out to pedal
today) and cruising the RBW web site this morning. Looking at the
framesets, I see where Atlantis is now 2,300 F.O.B. origin. When I
bought my Ram in late 2006, it was 1,350 and the Atlantis was only
$1,400. Using the AIER
Thanks Garth. I've bee known to use that tactic myself, but it does require
the cost of an extra shipping trip. The Sierra Trading Post gloves that I
just ordered were marked large but were actually just right for my
small-med hands (8) and far too small to use, as I had planned, as
overgloves.
I meant to say, it *may well* require the cost of an extra shipping trip.

Where are you located?

Couple things to add from my experience riding in Vermont:

I am with Corwin. Both of these (kickstand plate and mid-seatstay
braze-ons) would be deal breakers for me, aesthetically. I think QB is
about minimalism. Another reason I prefer canti brakes; you can add a front
rack without an additional braze-on, as long as the fork crown is drilled.
Duremes have all been claimed. Only the Marathon Supremes remain - $85 shipped

Well there have been some notable changes in manufacturing of those frames,
whereas the original Atlantis frames were made in Japan (when the YEN
exchange rate was much more favorable), now you get a frame made in the US

Same with the Bombas, the price went up as the person
There is pretty extensive writing in the first bunch of riv readers about
how the frame sets are (were) way underpriced. Also an explanation each
time the frame sets increase in price, bringing them more in line with
market realities. My guess is that they are still underpriced, much like
When did the Atlantis price go up? I thought it was slowly creeping up and
jumped only recently when they became order-only from Waterford rather than
an ongoing production model from Toyo.
FWIW, the yen-dollar exchange rate hovered around 110-120 between '96 and
'07, before it broke the
