To us on the list, these facts are surprising. But true. There is another guy in town that also owns an Atlantis, & I run into him maybe once a year. The first time I stopped him, I was expecting a degree of friendliness based on common ownership of a steel bike in a carbonic world. He didn't seem to think it interesting that 2 guys in the same town would have the same niche bike. When we see each other, he'll chat for a moment but then "must be going". I've mentioned our So Cal Riv group but he has no interest. His bike always has panniers & he told me he has no car, so that's his wheels. But as to any association with other Riv owners, he seems baffled by the idea. And he's probably not alone.
