John: A bicycle is such an amazing device. We consider "only about 30 lbs" to be a moderate load. What else can easily carry more than it's own weight? Assuming that the 30 lbs is an occassional load like a lodging tour or an S24O, and most of the time you're riding unloaded, my suggestion

Re: [RBW] Atlantis! Tire question

Doug, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I’m sure the Plus Tours would feel awful sluggish to me. I’m not a bruiser by any stretch. A loaded touring bike for me is only about 30 pounds of gear, max, so I would not be interested in anything more stout than the “regular old Marathon”. Even that might be

[RBW] Atlantis! Tire question

Hi, I'm a first run Atlantis owner (seventeen years, woot!) I ran ruffy tuffy for a while, then Mara supremes on GP recommendation, then Jack Brown for many years. Hated the Mara Supremes. Deadest feeling tire I've ever ridden. No flats, but what a price to pay! Jack Brown was pretty good, but

[RBW] Atlantis! Tire question

I've been running Bruce Gordon Rock N Roads on my 64cm Atlantis with fenders. They are a 43c label width and measure about 43mm on a mavic a719 rim. When I'm not running fenders, I like running schwalbe thunder berts in a 2.1" width. 2.1" wide tires work great without issues of toe overlap.

[RBW] Atlantis! Tire question

Hi all, I am beyond thrilled to say that I just put a deposit down on a 64 Atlantis with a double tt! Now I get to enjoy many months of anticipation while fantasizing about bike builds... Speaking of which, I always rode 32mm pasellas on my Quickbeam as well as on my current touring bike,

The Atlantis is pretty much the signature Riv frame these days. It has been around since the very late 90's and as mentioned, since they are built to order they never have unsold frames to concern over. Back then I could have bought one in the very original geometry that had longer tt's, but I

I didnt think it says much about it being better than the Atlantis over a variety of terrain. The geometry is different. Personally, I don't feel the draw of crazy long chainstays, and prefer a top tube length where I can use drops if I choose to. The Atlantis is also just a perfect bike though

Re: [RBW] Atlantis now redundant?

One thing the Atlantis has that the similar Taiwan bikes (Hillborne and Appaloosa) don't is the availability of more sizes for a more precise fit to one's body. The Hillborne introduced the expanded geometry model which helps keep the cost down by fitting about as many body sizes with fewer

My opinion is the Atlantis, AHH, Rodeo, and Hunqapillar are made in small batches by I believe Waterford. This is why it may take 4 months to get one. Rivendell has specific buyers already on order with a deposit. They don't have to worry about over ordering. They can still offer these bikes
