Since building up my Atlantis 5 years ago I've been using it a great deal,
and my other bikes almost never see the light of day. The Atlantis is just
such a joy to ride that I really don't want to ride anything else! When it
was about a year old I took it on its first tour, in Brazil. I agonized
I delivered papers 6 days a week for the Portsmouth (NH) Herald. I went by
bicycle unless the snow was very, very deep. I think it's influenced my
lifelong attitude, which jives with the Riv philosophy, that a bicycle
should be outfitted to be as robust and useful as possible, and carry
anythin

My Atlantis is set up with an Altus, 24-34-44 up front, and 11-34 8-spd in
back. I set up the chain length according to guidelines I got from Riv, but
my Altus grinds on the second biggest gear in back when shifting to the

I have done a lot of work on the dirt-drop bars on my Atlantis (Dajia Far

I started building my Atlantis a bit under two years ago; other than wheels
(new, fm Rich) I started with used parts and gradually have been upgrading
as I go. I've gone through 3 different front racks, different tire sizes
and added fenders; eventually bought dyno lights. I recently decided it
I assume I could use this with bar-end Silver shifters if I don't want

I've been pulled over twice. Once was in the 70's when I was stationed in
Germany, for not having a bell on my bike - I went out the next day and
bought a Mickey Mouse bell, which I still have. The second time was on

I'm a wax convert - it started years ago when I was recovering from a back

a way to stain my legs, my yellow riding jacket, and anything else that got

I have a MIT Atlantis I purchased new last fall; would like to register it
on Bike Index (and I'd love to hear any other recommendations anyone has
for this sort of registry) but I can't find the serial number. Is it hidden

I bought myself an Atlantis frame last fall and am building it up slowly
over winter. I've been riding a Novara gravel bike for the past 3 years, my
first exposure to a 21st century bike with discs, 10-spd index shifting,
