Now, now...weight isn't taboo. We just don't fixate on it. ;^) I'd reckon, based on nothing other than a guess: (bird-boned to stout roleur) Roadeo & San Marcos Legolas Quickbeam/SimpLeone Ramboulliet Hilsen Atlantis Hillborne Yves/Betty Hunquapillar Bombadil Some variances for interstitial models with fewer tubes, of course. But, I'd also say that since the frame varies by 1 or 2 pounds max, and your build would likely be mid 20's, that the frame weight is really only a quarter of the built bike weight. So, if you are building it up, that other 3/4 is where you want to look. Wheels, bb, saddle, etc... all those things where losing the next pound is exponentially more expensive. > On the Rivendell site there are a number of Atlantis bikes pictured. > Which color do you get without having to pay more? Standard color on the Atlantis has been the "creamy greenish blue", as stated in the bicycle text. You may just be noticing variance in color balance in the photos, though I think there are three custom colors also shown. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
