oh - i should probably mention i'd be open to a used Sam (56cm) as
well, though i doubt there are many out there.
i think a Hunqapillar will become my first "new" Rivendell, but
looking to build one up sooner, as a commuter/trainer.
i might be interested in selling/trading a complete purple 1992
I have a 58cm Atlantas and I ride 50mm Big Apples and fenders on it.
I have about 3/4 of an inch of TCO. But its mostly from the fenders I
think.
I rode it with the fenders off and i didn't have any that I can
remember.

Congrats Leslie! If you haven't decided on tires yet, I'll go ahead
and highly recommend the Jack Brown Greens. I'll admit they seemed
huge and out of proportion when I first put them on my Ram last year
(I had only ridden RP/RT's on it), but after riding fatty Hetres on
another bike for a while,

If you're really looking for an atlantis I'd recommend calling around
to all the riv dealers to see if anyone has one lingering in your
size.

Great image.
And,
I took a nice ride over the hill to Franklin Canyon yesterday. The
canyon is still quite wet from the recent rains and quite green. After
climbing out on the Hollywood side, I headed over to Benedict Canyon
which is a nice long climb that gets progressively steeper as you near
the top. At only 16.5
Clean early and often, doesn't matter much how. Convenience and
available time regulate your technique. Relube, too. Keep high
pressure away from bearings, modern lubes are better, marginally, than
gear oil, or Sturmey Archer Cycle Oil, which are amazing magnets for
grit. Less lube is more, usually
One of my more humbling moments...

Obviously if you get rid of the fenders OR the 180mm cranks OR the XL

I've been using the ProGold ProLink, following the instructions on the bottle.
After doing the chain, I wipe the derailleurs down with a rag and all is good.
Make sure you do let the lubricant dry/evaporate prior to riding-preferably
overnight.

David,
I rode 2 point something Nano raptors on my 58 cm Atlantis for some time and
don't remember any TCO. It's been a couple of years though so my memory may
not be perfect but I tend to think I would remember if there had been a
problem.
