Hey Group: Great news for tall folks.
I've been corresponding with Keven at RBW about ordering a 64cm Atlantis frame. Although the Atlantis info on the RBW website makes it appear that the 64cm frame is no longer available (e.g., even the geometry info isn't listed), 64's are still made. For anyone who might be interested, RBW offers the 64cm Atlantis on a built by order basis. According to Keven, the current wait from order to shipping is about 5-6 months. The frames are made by Waterford with essentially the same geometry as listed on Cyclofiend's website: http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html. Keven told me that the chainstay is now 1.5 cm longer and that current bikes don't sport the rear cantibrake bridge braze on. The rest of the geometry is unchanged and do include the kickstand plate and the fork brazeons for a mini rack. As with the current frames, Riv requires a deposit of approx half the frame cost up front with the balance when the frame ships. Current Atlantis frames are $2300. Because they are built to order, small changes can be accommodated. For example, I plan on having mid fork brazeons added to better accommodate my Tubus lowrider rack. Changes to the paint are also possible for 350.00 I'm happy to discuss any questions about the Atlantis from the prospective of a previous owner as well as how it compares to the Bombadil and Hilsens in the same sizes. I've owned each of these bikes and I've done long tours on both the Bomba and the Atlantis. Obviously, Keven or one of the other Riv folks would be the best contact regarding ordering, etc. Lastly, if there are any tall folks out there who might be interested in a good deal on a 65cm, single tt Hilsen, see my sale posting on the group. The frame is in excellent shape! Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
