I rode the Atlantis to work today, and agree that while subtle, the
differences are on the positive side. As stated, since I've been able to
tweak the Atlantis to a point where I like it very much, the tweaks just
enhance that.
Also, the geometry doesn't tell the whole story on its own, as far as
Thanks for this lineup. Very interesting. BB drop difference is due to
difference in wheel sizes.

Thanks. I was curious about the similarity/difference between your new
custom and the Atlantis that you low-trailed and really like. The
comparasion notion occured once you published the tube specs and they lined
up with Atlantis spec.
This is what I see (from the Riv geo table on 61 cm Atlant
I did, but here it is again:
- Head tube angle: 72 deg.
- Seat tube angle: 71.5 deg.
- Seat tube length: 60cm C-C
- Top tube true horizontal length: 58.6cm
- Top tube inclination: 2 deg
- Head tube length: 20.8cm
- Seat stay length: 55cm
- Chain stay length: 46cm
- BB drop: 67mm
- Fork Rake: 70mm
Rene,
Have you posted the geometry? I don't remember seeing it. I am curious how
different this custom is from your low trail Atlantis.

Good point. Like you, I guess that someday I may want to try one of those
bikes. We'll see.
Thanks for your comments!

Yes, Ellicott City is hilly. Some times I feel bogged down on the hills
around here. I am not a strong rider, that is why IH100 felt hilly to me.
But I had a great time and seemed to get over the hills easily enough. I
never felt bogged down, like riding at home. Nicely rolling in Indian Head!

Ellicott City is hilly. The CWC is hilly. Compared to them, the Indian

Beautiful build René. I especially like the custom racks and their
integration with the fenders and head light. The rear rack is very
interesting. It's there, but not there sort of rack so I wonder how much it
will be able carry, but then again, that maybe the point. Also the lug work
is stunni
A beautiful and well considered bicycle. I am at a stage of considering a
custom build along similar lines and your bike may serve as inspiration.
Tim.
