Just curious: Since you have both, what are the differences between the Ram & the Atlantis?
I have an Atlantis that I purchased primarily for touring, so did not consider component weights at build time. It's a pretty standard Riv build; lots of MTB stuff (crank, hubs, brakes) on 700 wheels. It's a great bike but admittedly a lot of work to keep up with the racy types (as racy as bunch of retired geezers can be, anyway). I'm curious to hear your comparison. dougP -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of usuk2007 Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 6:43 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Is the Ram the closest thing to perfect bike? I think so. I'm a bit perplexed with the drift of Riv away from the "lighter" end of the frame spectrum. The current frames and new ones just on the horizon look exciting, but there's a big void where the Ram was once. I have an Atlantis and love it, but the Ram is by far my favourite bike; fast enough to feel as if I'm a strong cyclist, versatile enough to go touring with lightweight gear, and even do some off road with 32mm tyres. I think the Ram hits the sweet spot between speed, handling and strength. I haven't ridden an AHH, but somehow if just looks less fun than the Ram, so I'm waiting for Rivendell to bring back the road/sport touring bike. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
