Hello Scot, I'm fairly new to following this list and haven't posted before. I've owned an Atlantis for about 10 months - love it! - and use it daily on a 30 mile round-trip commute. I've taken it on a couple of short tours and have a longer one planned for the end of June. The first Rivendell I saw in person was an Atlantis on my commute the day mine arrived at home. There was a guy riding it on the trail I commute to work on and he had had his about 7 years. It looked as beautiful as a new one.
I am located in Northern Virginia, but spend time in Clearwater fixing up (just about done) the condo my parents lived in for many years, so in about 2-3 years when I get my bike down there I'll be able to say I'm from the Tampa Bay area.
