If you are looking at a specific bike, the serial number is on the bottom
of the bottom bracket, & will start with "AT..."; followed by some digits.
You may be able to get a clue from the sn. I don't know if Rivendell kept

Is it? I've got two bikes with that seatpost size (maybe 3, once I get the
seatpost clamp rounded out). And I don't even own an old Cinelli with
fastback stays, which famously use 26.2.

As someone who owns one of the siblings to this bike, I can attest to the
fantastic-ness of the AdventureBike, as well as the killer deal Hugh is
offering. The racks alone are a major upgrade to the basic model, not to
mention the rest of the build.

Happy to help, man! I've been following the Riv saga from the beginning and
have become increasingly aware that a whole dang lot of time has passed,
and newer converts to these lovely bicycles don't have the institutional

As pertains to the two 53cm bikes on Ebay:

My personal 26.8mm seatpost datapoints have mainly been with relatively

What specific info do you need? It sounds like you are considering buying

about that bike, not all Atlantis' over all time. Get

Short version, others here will know more details:
Original was built in Japan by Toyo, I believe start year was 1999. Later
iterations gained braze-ons, lost pointy headtube lugs and were built by
Waterford in USA. All of these came with 26" or 700C wheels, all had
mostly-flat toptubes.

Super newbie question here, but need to be sure fairly soon here for a
purchase... can you fine folks provide me with a quick, bulleted evolution
of the Atlantis across the three iterations of the frame? Where it was
made, this one has longer stays, etc.? I'm sure this onto is on the
website,
I have a black set lightly used but would like a set of silver. DM if you'd
like to make a trade.

In today's bicycle world that would be a gravel bike. I remember seeing
