It looks like it will take a 27.2 mm seatpost.
That’s interesting.

Kai is on top of it, and has the right numbers ETT and ST! Kai I've had
such a good time with this bike!
I've had a little interest but no takers yet, will be posting elsewhere
soon. But for now here is a price adjustment:
FFHSBB: 1300
FFHSBB + Wheels: 1600

Thanks everyone.. I had a great chat with Vince today and he patiently
answered all my questions. Ultimately it comes down if I need more load
carrying capacity - if yes, then perhaps Sam is a better choice.. which
means I will have to import it from Blue Lug...I do not know how much any

These geometry charts have always been conservative on tire clearances. The
previous Atlantis listed the same ~55mm number. My Platypus has 50mm tires
with fenders vs the ~50mm max listed. My take (and you've touched on it
with your last comment) is that the listed sizes are more like a

I wear cycling caps when I go running, for a little sun protection and to
keep the sweat from dripping in my eyes. On the bike I mainly use them
under the helmet when it is raining, to protect my glasses somewhat from
the rain but mostly so that the rain doesn't make salty dirty helmet-pad

Hope to see you all there, I haven’t decided what I’m gonna run, I have
done the NorEaster on a few different bikes, there is no perfect bike or

Hey, the Charlie looks like such a great bike - I'm thinking I might get
one on the next go-around. We have a Joe App and an Hilsen in our family
and we love them both. For what it's worth we bought our Joe through Analog
and it was a great experience - awesome people, awesome shop. Good luck!
I live Velomine and have used them several times in the past, but boy,
their website sucks. I'd much rather have some modern filters for diameter,
hub size, disc, etc, rather than their random grouping of wheels by
category.

Great question and one which probably will garner more than a few lengthy
responses. I'll try to be relatively succinct.
If you go back and read through all the Rivendell Readers, GP's columns are
full of anecdotes of the difficulty of sourcing manufacturing vendors. I've
always had the sense
My own thoughts about geometry changes:
When the 2024 Appaloosa came out, I was slightly anxious that it made my
new, 2023 model redundant.
"But it's slacker now", I thought, "so it'll be better on trails! And I
ride trails!"
But then that thought passed, and I rode the bike. And I rode it some m
Here's to hoping the 55mm tire clearance on that chart will be updated. The
most recent atlantis took 2.4s, right? Seems like they wouldn't go back
down from there.
I'd love to see an Atlantis w/ clearance for 29x2.6. But maybe that's just
a gus/susie

Forgot to add that I’ve got a Raleigh Techniuim mtb frame, U-brake era,
with rare tall and undersquare geometry, hanging on the wall for another
such conversion, except that the friend to whom I gave my Monocog 29er is
giving it back, so that I’ll probably build that NORBA-style 29er up as a
single
I’ve converted at 5 NORBA mtbs to drop bar or upright bar all-rounder bikes
and I’ve owned at least 1 pre-NORBA mtb (CyclePro) and I much preferr the
much more neutral handling of the NORBAs for a combination of pavement and
dirt riding. My brother, has who converted at least 30 NORBA and pre-NORBA
I will also note that essentially all bicycles are handmade, whether
they're carbon, steel or
aluminum. https://theradavist.com/all-bicycles-are-handmade/

I think this question was to me? Yes, that's what I want - but I guess
what I'm arguing is that the new Atlantis basically IS a fully-lugged

To my knowledge, Riv does not manufacture anything themselves. They enter
into contracts with various manufacturers to make their products to a
determined specification. The burden of QC falls on the manufacturer, so
that will look different for the company that is making the frames vs the
bags
Rivendell uses Maxway, the same company Ritchey uses. You can read/see
pictures about their manufacturing process

I saw this posted on another group (bicycletouring) - “How does Rivendell

struck me that I, too, would be interested to know.

Hey G Ram!
Seconding Joe here, having had both the Atlantis and a Sam I'd say for what
you're describing a Charlie or a Sam might be a better call. A Sam landing
in between a Charlie and an Appa might be the best option as I ride mine on
a lot of trails/gravel but it's zippy and fun on road ri
I was fine on my Sam last year on Ultra Dynamico Cavas I think they were
42s. I did the medium chunky 35 mile ride. This year I'm planning to do the
full chonk ride.
This being said, my crank and bottom bracket just broke. If I cant get it
fixed in time I'll be on my Sam again, which is anythin
I'm 79pbh and would get a 53 Gallop. You might want to chat with Riv about
it because you can ride a 53 or 57 and the longer reach to pullback bars on
the 57 may work better for you.
Any of the 3 bikes you listed will work for your use case, the Appa may be
a tad overbuilt unless you find your

I am interested in getting a Rivendell. With the Charlie H Gallop preorder

I think the difference is that VeloMine mirrors the QBP inventory so you
can actually see what's available, and they don't seem to mark the wheels

There are some Riv shirts on RadBazaar as well. A little pricey for shirts

FYI, a few years ago I ordered a frame from VeloMine and had to call for
some reason, but during that call I had asked about their wheelsets and was
told they are just the stock wheels that QBP sells. They just purchase mass
amounts of them and sell them. So any bike shop with a QBP account can
