I used a one liter Trangia fuel bottle on the GDR mainly because of the length of the trip, but now I carry either one or two 8oz clear plastic flasks from REI. The great thing about the denatured alcohol is that it's safe to carry in just about any container. On Jun 13, 12:32 pm, Zack

When I rode the Great Divide, there were stretches when I was riding with people on full suspension rigs and bob trailers, and they had to limit their speed on descents, otherwise their trailers would fishtail and become unstable. I used front and rear panniers, and the bike was solid, even

I ride a 66cm Atlantis, but used a 60cm Bombadil on a long tour. It's pretty compatible, with a 2cm longer TT. And heavier duty all around. On Jul 1, 1:47 am, happyriding happyrid...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a 68cm Atlantis or another similarly large sized

I have a backup set of Phil touring wheels that I want to unload to free up funds for a Rohloff hub. They are 135 spaced in the back cassette hub with 36 spokes, and 36 spoke front, both laced up to black Mavic A719 rims, both built by Rich at Rivendell. They are one year old, and have been

It's a great bike, I rode a prototype on the entire Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and put it through absolute torture with no ill effects. This isn't a bike to fondle and flutter eyelashes at, it's a purpose designed user with even heavier tubes than the Atlantis. I'm sure you'll like it a
