Re: [RBW] Re: My new (to me) Atlantis on a local ride in NJ

My Atlantis recently celebrated its 10th birthday, and has only been sans rack for short periods of time. I really like the look of the bike without all the clutter of racks'n'bags, but reality sets in. I just never know when I need to bring home a few lasagnas or take a large package to the

Thanks to all for the compliments, and the bag/rack overkill comment made me laugh - evoked the image of a small hat on a big head! That rack is there for other duty when other duty calls... Norman - with any more luck, next year we will meet on the next annual Delaware Water Gap trip! O

Your device has to know you're a member of the Rivendell flicker group (or you have to sign in) to view the photo. I love the way this bike looks. Of course, it is very similar to my Hillborne which is painted, with no intent to deceive, the same Atlantis color: http://www.flickr.com/photos/

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

Ken, Don't worry about it. I was just as bad. After the morning "social" ride (which ended up being 33 miles), wanted to head down to the Cannon Valley trail for another 40 miles. That's why I didn't hang around. And yes, Hiawatha is a special bike shop. My only gripe is I didn't discover it

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

All of these methods require that you are *not* using a brake that mounts to a bolt running through the crown, right? Too bad, because they seem like very good solutions if your bike has cantis, V-brakes or discs. Is there any similar method that would allow the plug to have two holes offset to e

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

That's a GREAT IDEA. So long as it were set high enough that one could use the hole in the fork crown if needed it'd be secure and obscure. I like it! On Apr 19, 12:26 pm, Eric Daume wrote: > You could also use a star fangled nut hammered into the bottom of the > steerer tube. That's not comin

You could also use a star fangled nut hammered into the bottom of the steerer tube. That's not coming out. Eric D Dublin, OH On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 1:10 PM, Ken Yokanovich < reflector.collec...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks... > > The fender spacer for the fork was an interesting little project.

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

Thanks... The fender spacer for the fork was an interesting little project. I had an OLD threadless stem from which I cut an approximately 1cm ring from. I then scalloped the shape using a half-round file to match the arc of the fender. I then finished the shape by wrapping progressively finer

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

Eric, sorry I wasn't more social at Hiawatha on Saturday. I do owe it to Jim for having IN-STOCK parts that I wanted to finish the bike. He's got a really great little shop, worth the trip out of the way to pick things up. It really is pretty interesting to see just how many Rivendell-related bic

I think I owe most of the credit for the quick commitment to my VERY understanding wife. I called her just after 6am as soon as I got to work to make sure I did not have to back out of my commitment to buy the bike. Furthermore, she understood just how badly that I wanted it, enough to chase dow

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

Nice to see it built up. Saw the back of the frame when you brought it in to Hiawatha last Saturday. That's a really cool color. And this from a guy who actually likes the stock color of his Atlantis. Put me in the category of really jealous. Of course, you'll be easier to spot if you ride by

[RBW] Re: My New-To-Me Atlantis

As noted elsewhere, this is no ordinary Atlantis, it is a TransAtlantis. Tailwinds, and may we meet in the middle of nowhere and ride alongside awhile. On Sat, Apr 18, 2009 at 8:50 PM, RoadieRyan wrote: > > She's a beaut > > On Apr 18, 7:39 pm, "Doug Peterson" wrote: > > Ken: > > > > Congrats o

Ouch. Stings. There were three of us shooting emails to the seller; whose last reply to me was something like "OK, you want me to ship the case, too, right?" Could not be happier for Ken. Good Karma. Cheers, Chris On Sat, Apr 18, 2009 at 3:56 PM, David Estes wrote: > > > On Sat, Apr 18, 20
