First reply and a nice reality check on my silly idea. Thanks. That definitely is not aesthetically pleasing. (no offense to you or others)
I own two very capable for my type of riding non-suspension mountain bikes, GT Peace 9r's, one single speed and one geared. They have been discontinued, but they are outstanding bikes for the money. My thoughts were driven by the Riv aesthetic, but in maybe under-sizing is not such a good idea after all. http://bikereviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gt-peace-9r-multi-2010-mountain-bike.jpg On Friday, September 12, 2014 11:18:17 PM UTC-4, rw1911 wrote: > > All of these recent Atlantis-for-sale posts have got me thinking of > building up an old school like mountain bike. i.e. smaller than what Riv > would recommend for fit.
