I'm on the hills, near the BART station. Actually nearly at the top of the

A long shot, I know, but my new-to-me Homer (hope to post pics soon!) needs

If so, please let me know your asking price plus shipping to Chicago.

Go for the Hunqa as there is a very long delay/wait fir the Bomba. I'm
amazed at how nice the Hunqa is. It's exceeded all my expectations so far.

It's a parts bike that I'm using to try things out on when I get a wild
hair. I've actually been planning on selling/donating it for a while, as
it's a bit stiff. I've always wanted to replace it with a steel frame -
perhaps a Hunqa or Bomba.

Greetings,
One of the cool things about living in Seattle (besides the
temperature!...pun intended) is the wide variety of scenery. Of
course we have the mountains and the water all around but in the city
there are also many places to explore. On Sunday I took a pretty
typical ride...couple
Yeah, that's mine. Thanks for the compliment. It's a 51 cm, 26" wheel
version.
It did well on the ride, as did I with my bad knees and back. Once
dialed in, the Atlantis is very comfortable. There was another
Atlantis (700cc version) on the ride. I spoke with the owner, and he
shared the same sent
I thought it was Andy's bike at first! He has a very similar 26" Atlantis

One of Tom's forks will be a thing of beauty and a fine ride. His design
solution will keep the frame level if you want, and be designed with any
features you like. One consequence is that the brake reach will increase,
possibly past the point where a caliper can be used. This isn't Tom's
fault,
Good to see that I'm not the only one who shows up for century rides on a
fully laden bike. :-)

I wonder if Riv keeps track of which serial numbers went to which original

for a test ride and call Riv to find out who it belonged to. :-)

John,
Aaron saw this on the iBob list and posted here last week, Grant noted it
then:

few years, yet, it was introduced in what, 2009?

That's the first time I see a hardtail with front suspension and drop bars!
The BAs look good too. Glad to know that you like them on the dirt. May I

Thanks Geoff!
As you can read from my reply to Patrick, I'm going to try the 150 Bullmoose
bars but after today's morning commute, I'm thinking that for more active
riding, perhaps I'll stick to the 200. The good thing is that whether I keep
the downtube shifters or switch to bar thumbies, it'll b
Patrick,
I took the initial pictures with the Bullmoose bars at their maximum height,
but they didn't feel too good on my initial test rides; I felt too stretched
out with a lot of pressure on my hands. I know what you mean about getting a
good torso angle, but for me, 51 years old, 260 lbs, 5'11"
oops.

I have an AHH 63cm AHH with S&S couplers installed by Bilenky. Frame

normal wear and tear for a few year old bike.

This is the carrier that is co branded with ATOC. It works well with
tandems, recumbents, tag-a -longs, or single bikes. It has a pivoting arm
that allows the user to lock in the fork then swing the rear of the bike up
onto the roof. This rack fits on our Prius, and carriers our 8 foot long

Even though it's easier to do when the frame hasn't been built, you can
still do it on the built bike by taking advantage of the breathing holes
that are built into the frame, fork and BB, and just remove the stem and
