My only experience with Rivendell bikes is via internet photos and owner's reports but the A. Homer Hilsen was the bike that really fired my enthusiasm for RBW. I then discovered that RBW's philosophy wasn't far from what I had been doing for the past 12 or so years and became a dedicated fan. A series of e-mail conversations with Grant educated me on the Rivs that would work best for me and now, the 56cm Atlantis is my idea of the ideal bike and if I ever buy a Riv, it will be an Atlantis and if I ever have a custom frameset built, it will be based on the Atlantis. But it all started with A.H.H. and it's still the quintessential Rivendell for me and the most beautiful.
