Re: [RBW] Re: Truss-frame Atlantis!

Went to RivHQ this weekend and rode the Truss-frame Atlantis 'round the block. It is really nimble and fast handling. It definitely didn't feel heavy and slow, which is what I usually equate to a bike that is shod with fat knobbies. It definitely would be fun to ride in the dirt. Toshi in

Correct, I wouldn't call a 59cm bike "medium". Seconded about RBW Blue, too: I have it on my Cheviot and it looks WAY brighter/prettier than online pics reveal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Re: [RBW] Re: Truss-frame Atlantis!

I have to say that it does look very nice -- that frame is, in fact, one of the best proportioned that I've seen; the curved lower tt is perfect -- aesthetically. But man, I have to say that adding a second tt to an already stout frame in a medium size just makes me cringe, philosophically: I

I have an ANT truss bike. Love the looks but it doesn't fit me real well. So, that is my bike set up on the trainer which is a shame. On Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 2:24:20 PM UTC-4, jbu...@gmail.com wrote: > > Just sayin'… whooo-! ;-) > > >

[RBW] Re: Truss-frame Atlantis!

I'm on the preorder for a 59. At first I was a little disappointed it wasn't a straight bar double top tube, but after seeing a couple of photos as opposed to the sketch that was posted, I can't wait. It looks great. On Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 11:24:20 AM UTC-7, jbu...@gmail.com wrote: > >

I don't know if truss frames are the new "gravel bike", but 'good-looking' is timeless, and that new Atlantis is good looking! On Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 1:20:30 PM UTC-7, Mattt wrote: > > ANT bike was doing truss frame bike for awhile. Are truss frames the new > “gravel bike.” > >
