Hi Mike, I've been a bit busy with my graduation this weekend so haven't
caught up with e-mails. I have one other buyer interested who e-mailed
first and I'm checking in with him. Are you still interested? I'll let you
know if it's still available once I hear back from the other buyer.
On Thu,
I've not seen them around lately, so I take Campy no longer makes those
wonderful 3 ring front ders Riv used to sell? If so, mores the shame.
Those things were perfect.
I have been using Wipperman 9 speed chains on my road bike with a 5 speed
freewheel. Nice looking, high quality chain.
Interesting. 48 mm for a 26 wheeled Atlantis vs 55 mm for a 26 wheeled
Hunq. Maybe more going on here than meets the eye?

Yep, Tektro long reach brakes. FWIW, it does fit actual 36mm 700c tires, no
fenders, so not exactly skinny tires. I just got greedy and wanted fenders,
which will come shortly.

I have both bikes. My Hunqapillar is a 54 with 700C wheels, the Atlantis is
a 56 with 26 wheels. The Hunq is set up with racks, fenders, dyno/lights,
and boscos. The Atlantis is minimal by comparison; drop bars, downtube
shifters, no racks, no fenders, no dyno, but a pretty nice set of 90s era
I bought T. Durant's remaining lot of Willow chainrings a while back. NOTE:
this is not a promotional post, merely an inquiry.
I've been contacted by quite a few folks asking what speed chains will work
with these. Particularly, I have the question of whether 10-speed-Narrow
Campy will work.
Brooks C17. Natural. Purchased new from Riv. Mounted and ridden 30 miles and
removed. No clamp marks. Essentially still brand new. My butt prefers the B17.
$140+shipping. I can email you a pic if you want.

No. 7 mm is about 1/4 inch. So nothing dramatic. It's probably to do with
how the lugs align or how the machines cut tube.
The real deal is that the cockpit is slightly longer and that probably
speaks to spec'ing Boscos. And the chainstays are slighly longer and that
happens when you need to
I don't think the Hunq was built around Bosco bars. I'm pretty sure it had been
in production at least a couple of years before Riv came out with the Bosco
bars. At least I seem to remember it that way.

Thanks all for the kind words.
The pump is in fact a Silca Impero, without the Campy head, but free

at). Doesn't hit high pressure but will fill a tube enough to get me where
I can top 'er off.

I would guess the differences are just representations of Grant's evolving
preferences in bike design. I get the impression that the Atlantis is a
sort of legacy model that, while still being a great bike, is kept around
for nostalgia reasons. I'm pretty sure I've read statements to the

Just wanted to say that I took a chance and ordered a 55mm Big Ben for the

they'd fit. They do, just barely, and they are huge and awesome (esp the

Out for two hours this morning, tried to observe what I did. Found that I do
lift my foot so that there is no pressure on the pedal, but foot still in
kontakt with the pedal. On the flats and on the hills. Must be an automatic

Rivendell's videos are among the best I've seen for learning bike
mechanics. Replacing a bottom bracket is as easy as that video makes it
look, if you have the right tools.
