I don't really know what the cost to ship my bike was offhand. I do know the
total cost though. I'm not at home right now so I can't check the invoice.
Out here in Hawaii we just get used to it.
Even though I'm under the weather I had to go out this evening so I took the

Thanks for checking the box size. I was afeared of that when I saw
your photos. The box Riv used is 149" (girth+length). UPS & Fed Ex

You're welcome. The packing is pretty amazing, though I'm glad I didn't
spend a whole lot of time admiring it. :-)
Before I forget, the box measures 55x37x10.
As for work, I was coming down with a cold yesterday which I completely
ignored in order to build the bike and take a ride. By the time I

Thanks for the photos! Now I want a new bike just so I can open the
box! I worked from home so when my Atlantis showed up, that was the
end of work for that dayand maybe a bit of the next. They've
improved the packing. The white tube protecting the headset and HT is
new, and the at

I think this is what a lot of us experience. I could never imagine
fitting a 62, then I started riding mine, and fit is perfect.

It looks great! Perfect size after you get used to the idea of it!

I guess I should note that when I first straddle the bike I was terribly
worried that it was too big. I'm a 95 pbh and this is a 66cm QB. The thing
is, I could feel the top tube pretty high up there and had a moment.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I did my best. I'll be honest, it was
tough; I wanted to rip the box open and build it up immediately. I tried to
slow down a bit and take some images along the way.

As you unpack the bike, please take the time to take photos of the
packing and post those as well. I regularly ship my bike for tours
and thought I'd gotten good, but when my Atlantis showed up it was
fantastic how they'd packed it. I took photos, stored them on my
computer, only to lose
Outstanding! Take some photos please and post them if possible. One
day when I get to move I'll be living in Aina Hina or if possible, on
the Big Island in Hawi. It could be time to start a Riv club in
Hawaii. Congrats too!
Cheers,
Harry
