Dave: Here's a site with a lot of variety:
http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/atlantis/ If you happen to find an Atlantis build that was done with component weight in mind, please post as it would be an interesting variation. The Atlantis has always been marketed as a highly versatile, go anywhere, do anything bike, suitable for touring, off roading, you name it. That's why you're not seeing any built up as a go-fast. Big wide tire clearances, cantilever brakes, dripping with rack eyelets & even a kick stand plate now, doesn't appeal to someone wanting a light, skinny tired bike. Rivendell certainly always has something available that is more suitable for a go fast but Rivs not going after any the weight conscious crowd. FWIW, my 58 cm Atlantis (standard Riv build components) with no racks, packs, bottles but with Schwalbe Marathon 35 mm tires is around 26 lbs IIRC. But the normal setup includes a Nitto Big rear rack, saddle bag, Marks mini front rack & bar tube. That lot tips the scales around 30 lbs without food & water. I'd guess my setup is middling to light compared to some of the ones you see with larger tires, baskets, bigger bags, etc. Us Atlanteans just aren't into weight worries - until we've got get the bike on an airplane! dougP -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave C Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2009 11:26 AM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Pics of Atlantis built up as pure road bike? Anyone have pictures of Atlantis frames built up as road bikes with skinny tires, lightweight components, etc.? The only ones I see on the web are generally built up for touring use or roads and fire trails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
