Thanks Joe, the MB's have the wheel tucked under them the only one with
long wheelbase I own is the stump jumper, the wheel flop is noticeable if I
switch back to back between bikes.

Hey Jason, I'll check it out, a balanced bike would be nice since I have
bikes that. Are set up to a narrow scope of riding. That last name drop
frame I haven't herd of but will research more info on that .

Chris ,
The long haul tucker (not featured because I no longer own it It was
stolen) was a nice ride I think it too had a long wheelbase. I remember
the bike had stout construction and the tires were the big apples. If I
remember were a little rough for the volume. I never experienced a flat. It

I've owned my 2020 Atlantis for nearly a year, and in that time I've
discovered how comfortable and functional it truly is. If the Rivendell
aesthetic speaks to you, you spend most of your time pedaling at a touring
pace, and you want one bike that does it all, then this bike is wonderful.

For sale is my 55 Atlantis frameset (MIT) including headset, BB and

Well done. It sounds like you had plenty of experience before settling in
with the Atlantis, and will get tremendous satisfaction from riding it for
years to come. When you mention not needing more specialized bikes for
various uses, it reminds me of my own experience. I bought an Atl

Best trick I know is to add a layer or two to the area just before your
extremities. i.e., to keep toes warm, add layers to your lower legs. (i.e.
Long, thick socks and leg warmers.) Same with hands: adding arm warmers to
your forearms helps keep your fingers warm.

I think many people who have spent many years trying different bikes and

bike will just get ridden less and you tend to get on the 'All rounder' for
more rides more often. The idea of bicycles for very specific types of

I am all sorted now! Got a 60cm orange Sam *and* a 59cm MIT Atlantis! ❤️❤️

Hi
The business model for Rivendell is to focus on one frame group at a time.
So it takes a couple of months to work through a container or so of
frames. They are having the Sam Hillborne frame now so that is going to
generate the excitement for their work capacity. It could easily be next

Purchased my first wheelset with a dynamo hub and looking for a light to
complete my set up. Open to anything anyone is trying to part with, with a
preference toward b&m/schmidt. Not sure if anyone has anything laying
around but figured I'd put it out there in the ethos. Thanks in advance!

Howdy,
I recently purchased Riv's Silver triple crankset and I look forward to
getting it spinning soon. I'm looking to buy a front derailer, and I
reached out to Riv for recommendations. One of them was the IRD Alpina,
which I'm sure some (or many) of you ride with.
Here's the thing - when I

Id go with those cliff hangers based on the tire width you want to run. The
A23 might work but it will look odd to have such a wide tire on a narrower
rim.

Hugh,
Check out the VO Voyager rims. They’re not too expensive, the polished
finish is really nice, and they build up really nice. I’ve been commuting
on them since June and have had zero problems.

In fact, I was able to snag that orange Sam Hillborne *and* an Atlantis MIT

I had the same issue with mine a decade ago. Never cared for them. My
solution was a used set of simplex retro friction from eBay. They bolt
right on to the pods you have and happily shift my 9spd system smooth as

Doug- Great to hear, I hope my long term experience with the Atlantis is
like yours :) I can't believe you're still on the original Shimano hubs!
How do you maintain them? I've never been diligent about regreasing my hubs.
Eric,
That's awesome. I like how first panic set in and to mitigate that panic
you started working out the numbers. I think you're going to love the Sam.
