@iamkeith and others. One of the pics for the “new” Atlantis shows the braised filet bottom bracket area it appears to me. Would not be a deal breaker for me; but then again I have a 99.5 PBH and have/had (it’s complicated) a 68cm “Old” Atlantis. Ryan “ready for spring” Hankinson West Michiga

Nice to see they're reusing the ball-and-socket seat lug from the Roadini. And I got a nice chuckle from the photo on the website that shows a bottle cage mounted to the *back* of the seat tube facing rear tire! Brilliant! I really like what RBW is doing these days. I hope this one is a home run

[RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

It looks great. I hope I get to test ride it and compare to the Appaloosa. A shorter top tube would be great with my build. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, s

Ah, thanks. And "a limited number" appears to be about 9 or 10 of a size. "Elude" should be "allude," of course. On Friday, April 6, 2018 at 2:38:31 PM UTC-6, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Keith: The details are still being uploaded so you probably haven't seen > this yet. The pre-sale price is $100

So have any locals, who have been able to see and ride the sample, looked at the bottom bracket and are you able to describe it better? I'm still wondering what "combination tigged / fillet brazed" means. That's the only unknown detail that gives me any pause whatsoever. -- You received thi

RE Geometry: I haven't delved into the details too deeply yet, but speaking personally as one who long wanted but never quite fit one of the old Atlanti sizes - nor *most* of the more recent 6 degree models - these appear to be* just different enough*! I'd have adequate stand over clearance

[RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

I am still looking over the geometry but the sloping top tube probably makes it look even more different than it really is. That said, the sizing came out different than I expected (not a bad/good thing...). For instance, I would fit a 61cm (Waterford) Atlantis, 59cm TT (eff), 700c wheels, sta

[RBW] Re: New Atlantis Pre-sale page is up on rivbike.com

I have an Atlantis that I dearly love and I still find this to be exciting. Also, good to see the 47 cm is back. My wife absolutely loves hers but could not ride anything larger, and there are many people in her size range. dougP On Friday, April 6, 2018 at 12:34:00 PM UTC-7, Chris Birkenm

my memory may be off but is the sizing markedly different from the old atlantis? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr

If I didn't already have a Joe A that I dearly love, I would be very tempted. On Friday, April 6, 2018 at 3:24:37 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Now you can put your money down on a new Atlantis: > > https://www.rivbike.com/collections/framesets/products/frame-new-atlantis > > Happy shopping!

These are 44cm I believe. I'd like to go wider though. After running dirt drops for a long time, these feel sooo skinny On Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at 2:31:59 AM UTC-5, IanA wrote: > > What width are the Noodles? I have had 42cm and currently have 44cm and > 46cm. The 46 are great on the hoods,

Not 100%. I meant to call myself a buttinski. Calling myself a butt-in-sky could be taken differentlyI really meant that I have a tendency to answer questions not directed at me, when I think I know the answer. I did not mean that my butt is currently pointed at the sky. :-/ Bill Lindsa

Kristy: Thanks for tire size info. I think that size is fine. Many of my friends with 26" wheels tour on 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" tires with good result. I've only recently been able to move my wife onto 1-1/2" tires on her Atlantis. She had 1-1/4" & did not want to change anything but 1-1/4" look
