Ken,
Nice job! Going to keep my eyes open for that one around town next spring.
Love the color.
BTW, some of the folks are more dedicated than others. Saw someone
commuting home yesterday on the snow and ice packed roads on a custom
Rivendell. Didn't look like he had studded tires on, either.
Great looking bike! Hi class all the way round... I've never heard of the
stainless washer facing, it looks great. Is it to lengthen the life if the
braze on's or more for appearance?
What size frame is it? I'm curious how well it packs up with those SS
couplers for travel.

Thank you for the compliments Hugh
I had started down the path of having someone else do the paint. Naively
inspired by a reflection on a middle school experience of painting a shop
class project I figured that I would give it a shot. I put about $150 into
materials and countless hours
Eric, I know I have run into you on Como Ave, and if that was where you saw
your dedicated Rivendell rider, it may have been none other than Curt
Goodrich. I know I used to catch him quite often and chat on our way home
along Como.
I have taken a different job consulting and miss my riding!
The mounts for fenders and racks seem to always take abuse and be the start of
corrosion. I had the idea and Eric took it and ran. :)
The Atlantis is a 61 and packs well into the SS hard case. It can be a bit of
a pain, but it is niceto be able to bring a bike. More importantly, it does
Very cool, I've been told my 64 would be a tight fit if possibly a no go
all together...
Great looking bike and having put so much time in yourself I'm sure it is
all the more special. Happy riding!

Beautiful. When you wrote rattle can paint job, I was expecting something
else entirely. (Based on my skills, it would look like... rattle can paint
job.)
Enjoy the ride, and don't let the cold keep you inside.

Wow..that is stunning. That Atlantis used to be yellow, correct?
That looks like a very professional job to me. Beautiful bike. I have to
say I like that colour more than the stock colour
I know a few years ago, you had a bad bike/car accident that had some
serious long term effects. I hope
Ken,
Your Atlantis is exquisite. Unbelievable that you did this with rattle
cans. It is great to see a Rivster with a passion for doing something.
with such thoroughness. Facing dropouts and the braze-ons with stainless
steel washers is an excellent thing to do and I will adopt the idea on
Ken,
Very impressed with your paint skills...I decided to have someone more
competent than I to do the paint braze on work...supposed to get it back
in a week or two. Since I purchased the Atlantis used and am paying for the
braze on work plus the paint and all new parts I'll have to wait on
