Have you looked at the SimWorks "Obento" rack?

Pricey, but the "shiny" version seems to be in stock!

Hey Scott. I went with the Nitto face plater 135 mm for the stem. The bull
bar is 70 cm wide and it’s a 31.8 diameter. It’s the one that Rivendell
sells. I’m hoping that it’s a great fit. ~Bill

Specifically, which model Nitto bull bar, clamp diameter, and width bar are you
considering running?
I'm building an Atlantis, too. And I'm strongly considering a bull bar and
wonder what you're on to.
Thanks,
Scott

Good luck with your build. I’m in a similar situation, but mine is a
rebuild of a 15 year old Atlantis. I already have replaced the wheels with
Atlas rims and am on my second silver crank so I’m not going new on those.

Congratulations How exciting when the planning and futzing over the
bike and parts finally come together. Any changes in parts and such while
thinking over the build? I know when I built the Rivendell Mountain I went
back and forth on several items. Thought of doing an 8 speed freewheel, but
I own the 2020 creamsicle orange/butterscotch frame in a 57. You can look
at the latest bikeinsights.com geo for the 58 and be really close. As to
your question, my standover with 700c X 40MM tires is approx. 855 mm (33.66
in.). Hope this helps

I mean Grant has a point about how the numbers don't tell the whole story,
I'm 5'-7" 79-ish PBH and the custom he designed for me is 54.3 x 63. Which
sounds crazy but the angles and how high and far back the bars reach make
it work perfectly. But I'd still like to see the numbers on a production
That’s a long reach Joe. Even with Chico bars on my 51 Hillborne I use an
8cm stem on it’s 56.5 cm TT.

Jason, it’s been more than months at this point. Just search geometry,
it’s the closest one will get.

They need to fix it, especially as the Clem keep growing in reach. No the
ETT doesn't tell all but I need to know if a 52cm frame stretches 65cm
between seattube and headtube.

Yeah I'm pretty baffled that it's taking months to make a couple geometry
charts. I miss the days when Rivendell were unusually transparent about
geometry and frame details, rather than cagey and defensive as they are
now. I get that it's unusual and they're worried people will misunderstand
t
It’s funny, if you look under bikes and hit geometry there is an apology
that they are working on it but if you search geometry you get the above
info. Hard to sell bikes when you hide info.

Hey all,
Black and cream is mine. I can't report on how these tires fit on a
slightly wider rim, but will say that the clearance is totally fine on
Dyads, with a few mm of clearance everywhere. Tightest points are fork
crown and chainstays. Still running this setup about a year later.
