FYI - on this bombadil, the track end has a derailer.

But then you either have to type in the rather awkward 'forward-facing
or rear-facing' descriptive or be completely confusing. The two are
quite different. A forward facing horizontal drop out is mean

Just to be clear, I was not disagreeing that they are known (on track
bikes) as 'track ends', I was only pointing out that it is not
incorrect to refer to them as horizontal drop-o

While it's sad to see the Atlantis go to sleep, I am excited about
this new model. I hope the replacement to the Atlantis keeps the more
traditional look of the Atlantis although I think Grant has hinted
that it'll have a sloping TT. The Sam Hillbornes were a pretty severe
departure in design for R

That is a good question which has been debated off and on here
before. I think Waterford either does not have capacity with

I thought those were called track fork ends.
Horizontal dropouts are those such as the Campy 1010 that you find on
traditional steel road ra
With the apparent popularity of the Atlantis frame as the basis of an
"all-rounder" type bicycle, I wonder why Grant doesn't source it
domestically. Rivendell still uses Waterford to produce the Rodeo,
unless there is a capacity issue it seems that Waterford might also be
a good U.S. source for th

I could live with TCO for a Riv offroader; basically I've been looking for a
road bike that will take 65s plus fenders. I've been told onlist that the
Bombadil won't take 60s; was I told wrong? -- Not that I expect Riv to
design for my particular idiosyncracies, but it *would* be nice for me ...

Horizontal DO's might be good but for tire clearance, at what point
