Re: [RBW] A College Clem

I've spent over 30 years on college campuses and 20 of those with an Atlantis. If I ride to work, it stays in my office until I leave. I have seen literally hundreds of bikes stripped and stolen. If you can't keep it indoors,my advice is a 80-90s steel MTB frame that fits. On Sun, Aug 6, 2023, 9:3

Re: [RBW] Clems: Rivendell, modernized?

I have no Clem, I do have a 2002 Atlantis and a 1990 El Capitan. One of the real values of a Tig'ed frame is that you can do things that are prohibitively expensive with lugs (ie requiring completely custom lugs or accepting the compromise that might be needed for 26 inch legs and a long body). A

Asbell has vests, anoraks and hoodies in light, medium and blanket weight wool. I have had the Pathfinder in blanket weight for 6 years, and one of the Navaho style midweight vests for 3.

[RBW] new shoes for a 47cm Atlantis

Does anyone know if the Rene Herse 26" Naches Pass 1.8's will fit onto an old style (2002 Made in Japan) Atlantis? I've run Specialized 1.5 Nimbus (2) for years on the Commuter and the Atlantis but I'm thinking a
