Well written. I look forward to hearing your and Eric's reports of PBP.
Curious: what sort of gearing do you use for this hilly route? What is your
cruising gear range (for flat terrain, low wind conditions)? What speed did
you average over the 128 miles?

Are those Jitensha handlebars? Nice build. Very tempting...

Anyone have thoughts about using a Dirt Drop stem paired with some Noodle

Pros? Cons?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

This is exactly why I am contemplating going with the ird stem mounts. It
really seems like maybe that is the best place for shifters and upright bars.

I am riding the RnR in 700 c on my All Rounder and have never felt so sure
footed on loose gravel descents and climbs. Great tires on a frame that has
exceeded my expectations. The tires measure a full 43 mm wide on the 28 mm
wide VO rims, and 40 mm on Mavic MA 40's. Steve

I have one to many bikes for allotted bike space in my garage. I want to pick

Well I'm thinking a 58cm Atlantis might just be a tad bit too long for me
in the top tube.
But I wanted to pair it with an 8cm Dirt Drop stem, hopefully it'll work!
Thanks!!

I have a Rive recommended Sugino triple crank

Pros - If you run the bars 2 or more inches above seat height, I think the

midway. Seems to break things up ... to my eye anyway. Put some stem

I actually quite like the look of the dirt drop with most bars other than full
uprights. Something sorta badass about it. I have the 8cm on my hunq with
albastache. I can't imagine going longer, but the top tube on the hunqapillar
is quite long. Not sure how it compares to the Atlantis top
To me the Dirt Drop is to bring you up and back. The DD I purchased was
specifically for the mustache bar so I went 8. I would much rather err
being a little more upright, than a little too stretched out. If you were
trying to fit a bike slightly too small for you or with a short head tube
My Atlantis came with that set up. I don't think there is anything wrong with
the pairing, especially if you want the bars up and back. I think it especially
helps if you like to use the drops without being so deep on the bike. Some
would see it as an odd aesthetic, but I like the DD with about

I'll let you know later next month after I get some confirmations. I know
of two women who expressed an interest and we may have some locals show up
for the rides. We'll just have to see. Later in August I will PM each

I live in Central Oregon and I ride year round on my Atlantis. I hate
cars, and I am car-less. We get snow, and it gets pretty cold. Winter
before last, it hit twenty below. Crazy weather warming weirdness. Anyhoo,
here are my tips: I run fenders with lots of clearance and ensure that
I'm most definitely interested. Just one thing - talking to my wife about it,
and she assumes it's going to be a bunch of dudes, their bikes, and camping.
I'm fine with that for myself, but is her assumption true? Would there be other
ladies in the group? If so, we may both come, if not, it
