Or sell the 56cm and build up the new? The 56cm Toyo should be a sought after
model for some time, due to the 26" wheel size. 650b for rim brakes leaves few
options for rims outside of the USA, so someone looking for a traveling bike
might prefer the Toyo for the availability of rims and the sho
If you are in a place like me, getting to trails or gravel is not super easy,
but so worth it. Someone said it earlier but fun is the key word. I often take
my non bike or roady friends on a ride from where I work ( which is a bit more
trail adjacent) and they always end with a new appreciation
I agree with dougp and others, if affordable,
I’d make one a townie or road tourer and the other a 90’s style mountain trail
bike. It’s such a versatile frame...and even more so because you have them from
different eras. I feel blessed to have a Waterford Atlantis made during the
transition from

Sweet! Let us know how it goes. In my experience the adventure intensifies
exponentially the further off asphalt I am. This requires a shift in
expectation and mindset ... one that has benefited me greatly in all aspects of
life.

Have fun Carla! If you enjoy it, you will have increased your 'potential
places to ride' by 873%! Woo hoo!

That is indeed a good problem to have. I've had a 58 cm Toyo Atlantis for
16 years, so I'm pretty familiar with it. I've ridden a 53 cm MIT & the
bikes ride noticeably differently. I prefer the new, long wheelbase for
the ride & it doesn't seem to compromise anything on tight trails
I like free Range and I used to talk to the original owner about Rivendell all
the time but she sold the shop. That’s where I had the why don’t you want disc
conversation. That said they did a really great job on my wife’s Rivendell.

I would absolutely second (third? fourth?) Free Range. Very cool shop in

visited. Owner's bike, if memory serves.
I've also heard great things about Aaron's Bike Repair down in White

Note how the grips on that bike are behind the steerer. A reversed stem and
drop bars is just another way to achieve the same thing. Nothing to wonder
about.

Here's the XL demo that was sold, if the STA is 71.5 as many Rivs have been
lately, the HTA appears a bit shallower, maybe 70/71 degrees. Note the
front-center too, from the center-BB to center-front axle it's *by far *the
longest of any production frame yet by Riv, including the 64/65 Clem

If you're in Ballard, I'd just go to Free Range in Fremont. They're super
close to you, and were at one time a Rivendell dealer. They are also super
nice people there, and definitely won't mock you. No "bike shop dude"
mentality there - in fact it's a woman owned business.

Super interesting. Trust the guys at Analog and Rivendell to think of
something out of the box like this. I read up on that zero stem and it
certainly looks like it would work good the the GBW frame. Especially with
some Noodles which come back a notch.

I would build up the MIT one as an old school style MTB with Wavie or
Bullmoose bars, and the Waterford as a drop bar all-rounder. Unless you
can't afford to keep both, I bet you wouldn't regret it!

The answer is obvious. Keep them both. I think they are significantly

Don't build it up, that would be a money losing proposition. Sell what you
have in the box. Good luck on your sale.

Another suggestion for shorter riders: check out the high-quality

for and parts picked for shorter riders rather than some bike companies
