Hey everyone, thanks so much for the quick response, kind offers and smart suggestions. The Seattle Riv contingent (SRC?) came to the rescue! It's good to know that I don't really need it though. I'll definitely putting a drop of blue Loctite on the replacement, as well as the other one. Man, I

Rode w/ 11lbs of bird seed in the front basket of my Atlantis last Sunday, through the snow for that matter. No problem. I believe the convenience and practicality of having a basket/bag up front (especially during a brevet) far out weighs any nominal changes in handling. My advice is just to

So, blognetnews was a terrific blog aggregator for cycling-related blogs. Unfortunately, the website died back in July. Would anyone out there happen to have the list of blogs that were on blognetnews.com/cycling/? It's a long shot, but I'm hopeful Thanks Kevin -- You received this message

The Atlantis is an incredibly versatile machine. If you're ever going to ride it in the snow w/ wide rims, like 45mm SnowCats, go w/ the Atlantis instead of the SH. If you don't live anywhere near snow and snow-packed winter trails, then the SH is probably the ride for you. Here are some photos

The SnowCats really, really flatten out the profile of the tire. You're going to love them! Granted, they won't magically transform your Riv into a Pugsley, but nonetheless, it'll be a breathtaking experience for you! Here are some shots of my Atlantis w/ SnowCats on.
