No special chainrings; just a 8-speed era mtb Logic triple with the outer
ring replaced by a guard. Back with my first friction 10 speed, the crank
was an old TA Pro 5 Vis, but that was a single ring setup.
I've had the 10 speed chain hang up exactly once on the Logic 2X10; this
was so rare an
Gabe, your Atlantis has a great vintage mtb look to it! No judgements here
in regards to the bar-ends, it's nice to have a few different hand
positions. Do you still like the Simworks bar?
I think there was a shop in the Twin Cities that used to sell Rivendell
bikes, but closed right around the
Patrick, thanks for the info on 10 speed friction. Did you use 10 speed
specific or ramped and pinned chainrings? That's cool to hear someone
managed to get 12 speed to work in friction. I wonder if they used a clutch
rear derailleur too, since you mentioned it was used off road? 11 or 12
Gabe- I still love the build and you get the credit/blame for me buying an
Atlantis.

Welcome to the group Erik!
Your Atlantis build feels just right. Not too much. No too little. Just
right! Great color too. If I will ever get my MIT Atlantis repainted,
that's be dark green.
Wish you many many happy rides!

Erik: I happily shift 10 with bar end shifters and, not only that, but I
use a home-made cassette (14-27) with the ramps misaligned, and shift with
1970s-era Suntour Barcons pulling a 8-speed era Dura Ace 74nn rear
derailleur -- these both move 'faster' per unit of input, so that the

I've been curious about how well 10 speed friction works. So many mixed
reviews. The tires are Continental Double Fighter 2"/50mm. I've been really
happy with them so far. A lot of the roads here are full of potholes,
cracks, and bumps, so it's nice to have the extra cushion. I want to say
Index shifting. I feel like a heretic. I am fine with friction but like the
index shifting. The crank was hard to install with clearances. The bike rides
great. What ties are you running?

Jonathan,
Glad to hear the deal worked out well for you! Looks like a really nice
build. Having the ability to quickly swap wheels with different tire sizes
seems like a great option. Are you running the 10 speed indexed or friction?

Erik. My Atlantis was never posted. Someone on the list emailed
me when I had expressed interest in buying one to say a friend of his was
selling. I was actually in St. Paul at the time but wasn’t able to test ride.
Ended up just purchasing. I don’t regret it.
I had it built up with Chocos and
Nice setup. The Brooks saddle has a nice color against the frame. Hope you
enjoy it.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
The setup of the bike has worked nicely; it's incredibly comfortable and
functioned well with everything I've thrown at it. With temps dropping and
winter taking hold, I'll be putting studded tires on shortly. I'm
interested to see how it behaves, but have
Well done, and congratulations. I really enjoy my Atlantis with a fairly
similar build.
