Beautiful building with all those recycled windows. A nightmare of a job to
reglaze them. A Zen effort perhaps.

How about some Italian recycling. I’ve coupled Suntour late 70s barcons
with parts from a mid-1990s Campagnolo Record 8-spd group, including the
rear derailleur, the wheel set, a stock 13-26 Campagnolo 8-sped cassette
modified with a 28 tooth low gear, an early 80s Record front derailleur,
and a 20
Dave - I'm running a 46/30 on my Atlantis with a Shimano 600 tricolor FD
and if works splendidly.

John, I've never been to Japan! But I've collected a few tidbits in the
olde mental filing cabinet.
I'd love to do some riding in Japan one day, hopefully with some
shinrin-yoku included.

Groovy, Eric! That's on the island of Shikoku. Have you lived in Japan?
Very cool article on the Zero Waste facility. I was, however, nonplussed by
this statement: "Kamikatsu's main industry was once forestry, but all that
remains of this today are neglected cedar forests." The many cedar forest
David, I've matched a beautiful IRD Defiant 94 BCD (I think my only
crankset that didn't come from you 😉 ) with 46 /30 rings and an early
2000s 960 DA XTR front derailer. It all works perfectly together.

I’ve used a 2016 Campagnolo Chorus FD with 46 x 34 and 46 x 30 doubles with
good results. The Chorus derailleur was originally from a 52 x 39 setup.

For my Rivendell Custom, I use a Dura-Ace FD-7800 (31.8 integral clamp,
10-speed era) with my RenéHERSE 42-26 double. Chain is a Dura-Ace 11 speed
(ultrasonically cleaned and waxed), cassette is a Dura-Ace 12-28 11 speed.
Rear derailleur is a Dura-Ace RD-7700GS (large pulleys, 9-speed era).

That’s much like how I’ve found Dura-Ace FDs of that era, the originally
8-speed 7410 in specific, are perfect for the 48/34 compact doubles I run
on many of my bikes.
I wonder how those late 20th century FDs would do with subcompact doubles,
like a 46/30. Has anyone here done that?
Dave, who has
I just checked mine. It is 28.6 at the top, but 31.8 where the FD mounts.

Well, Ryan, it is a dream bike, so it's no wonder it showed up in yours.
Someday I hope to ride one of the newer Atlantii to have an understanding
of how they've changed over time, but I do really love the way this Toyo
model rides.
Cheers,
John

That is a beauty...and even more intriguing is your *gomi* story. So
intriguing I dreamed I rode an Atlantis last night...but I can't tell you
whether it was a *gomi* harvest or not, unfortunately.

The website description is fascinatingly murky, like I couldn't make it
murkier if I tried. The seattube ovalizes as it heads down to the BB shell
and I believe it is indeed 31.8 at the fd section (the MIT model).
Toyo/Waterford was 28.6.

I think you'll find your Atlantis seat tube is 28.6mm diameter (AKA 1⅛").
That's what the Riv
Hey Scott, I certainly cannot speak to the new Atlanti, but mine definitely
takes a 28.6. Looking forward to a photo of your build.

John, the Atlantis I purchased new from Riv last month takes a 31.8 clamp FD.
Yours is a 28.6? They must have changed along the way?

You bet, Mike. My Hunq has the original XT FD from my first mountain bike
from the early 90s, and I've got some Deer Heads that I'm saving for
something, someday.
