As someone who bought his first Rivendell frame and did my first build in
the past few months, it is nice to see other first-timers. Jim and Thomas I

Congrats to everyone on their Atlantis pre-orders. I'd fit a 55 but I dream

I ordered a 59 yesterday ( that rainbow bar), chomping at the bit
right after noon worried it would sell out (unfounded I guess). Super
excited! I've bought lots of parts and gear from Riv for years and years
but never an actual bicycle. I hope I like it; it seems likely I will.
Really regretting
Dave, thanks for the insight. I would have expected the opposite, as the

Does anyone know if they are offering an 26" wheel Atlantis this time
around? Current listing shows 50cm as the smallest size, but description
below mentions a 47cm, which I think was the 26" version. Obviously, Riv
goes by PBH but are there any geo charts out there or does anyone have top
Hi Chris,
I have both a 52cm Clem H and a 53cm Atlantis (v.3). While they share the
long wheelbase and relaxed geometry, they're very different bikes. The Clem
leans heavily toward an mid-80s MTB, but with greater stability and
comfort. The Atlantis "feels" more nimble and better suited to

I'm not looking for another MIT Atlantis, since I got a 56 a few years ago,
but I wish I picked up a 58 AHH a couple months ago. Those went fast.
