Here is the first set of photos from my new Atlantis that replaced the Bombadil. http://tinyurl.com/25wez6o
I've been commuting with it for the last couple of months, but have also been traveling a lot for business so I haven't really had a chance to take good photos. This morning I decided I would just capture it using my iPhone 4 and see how they'd come out. This is a 61cm Atlantis frame made by Waterford with custom full set fork braze-ons like the Bombadil had + a custom rear seat stay bridge fender braze-on to eliminate the need to use a clamp. While I loved the Bombadil and am very pleased that it has now found a new loving home, the 61 was too long/too tall for me and with the investment in 700c wheels that I had between the Bombadil and the Homer, I just didn't want to go to the 56 Bombadil that ran 650b tires. The Homer fit me very well and since the Atlantis has the exact same geometry, I chose to go with one instead of waiting for a Hunqa. I'm very happy with it. It's snappier than the Bombadil was, it's extremely comfortable with its 50mm tires and I love its magical color. Will be doing an S24O in Angel Island again on the Saturday of Thanksgiving so I'll be testing it fully loaded and see how it compares to the Bombadil S24O I did in July to Angel Island. The Atlantis has, since Monday evening, a SON 28/Edelux front light and a rear Spanniga Plateo tail light that is battery operated but has a Senso feature and that based on light conditions turns it on/off automatically. Stay thirsty, my friends! René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
