I have owned a 56 cm Atlantis and I currently own a Jeff Lyon L'avecaise. I loved the Atlantis and primarily used it as a mountain bike. If I were forced to own only one bike I would have to pick the Atlantis for it's versatility. That being said I absolutely love my L'avecaise, and will never sell it. The feeling of the L'avecaise on the road is amazing. The handling is fantastic and it is by far the most comfortable "road" bike I have ever owned. And Jeff was great to work with, but so are the riv folks.
I would say the choice comes down to what type of bike you are looking for. If I were in the market for mostly dirt road rides and touring I would get a riv. If I wanted a comfortable road bike that is also great on dirt roads I would choose the L'avecaise. I feel that perhaps riv's are more versatile, but I love the feel of the L'avecaise. Hope that helps with the tough choice. -Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
