Andy - Thanks for the thought on the NOS XC Expert shifters, I'm sure they
would improve the experience a ton. I was willing to use those cheapie
SIS's because I knew it was temporary but I'll start messing around with it
again after Christmas.
Chris - Sounds great, I picked up on the stem shi
Tony,
I considered the thumbies and the stem shifter approach together. When
Bill posted his stem shifter photo in the other thread, it nudged me in
that direction and the order was placed. The other factor is when I
installed my SA three speed shifter on the stem of my Quickbeam, I liked it
Tony, my recallection of those hollow, plastic lowest-end SIS thumb shifters is
their palpable flex when being shifted. My mind knew I moved them enough, but
my ears and feet telling me it has't happened yet. I would have volunteered a

Chris I admire your commitment to the single handlebar, I wish I could get
myself to agree on one!
For shifters have you thought about thumbies? I did a pair of thumbies on
my GAP trip w/ the purple-luki and liked it pretty well. I mounted them
close to the stem. Granted I didn't shift a w
Congrats, Chris. Love the big-tire look. Atlantis is a beauty.

No doubt you've thought of this, but ... though I try and shift as little
as possible, when off road, having the shifters handy rather than on the
down tube can be the difference between being able to shift and not.

Tony, all three of my Rivs currently have albatross bars. It appears I've
been smitten.

Thanks, gents, for the encouragement.
Philip, I wish I would have asked you BEFORE I ordered new parts. In fact,
the day after ordering I come here to find others offering bits I needed.
If only I could have been more patient.
In the meantime, I'm back to obsessing over shifter configuration.
Congrats Chris! You just can't beat the look of an Atlantis. And I like
how it sits on those fat 26er's too. So what's the handlebar plan for the
Riv-threesome now? I think that I remember you dallied with some noodles on
the AHH earlier this year. I have a similar situation between my singl
Finishing your Atlantis will be a nice winter project. I hope you enjoy
yours as much as I do mine. It really is as good as they say.

Really happy for you. I love the build process and yeah there is some
impatience but as long as you have other bikes to ride it's all good. My
stable is nearly complete but I pine for a silver or orange QB! Alas that
will be in the distant future for me.
Chris I look forward to the in between
I love the simple look of that bike. Pedals and cables will add to the
functionality, I guess, but it won't be as sleek.
I really do love the look of the single top tube, horizontal, with bars at seat
height. It is what so many of us grew up looking at, I guess. Not too much seat
post or stem,
Patrick,
You are exactly right. My wife said she is all done pushing me around on
"test" rides. Hey, if you build up a bike, you NEED test rides.

Very nice looking. I spent a long time wanting an Atlantis for touring,
then ended up buying a used Saluki. It sounds like this one will be just
right for your riding. Be sure to post again when its all together.

Chris, it's a 56, and borderline too big, but I like the way larger frames ride.

Definately adding those pics to my 26" bike folder!
What size is it? I'm guessing 56 or 58 cm but maybe the tires make it look
smaller than it really is.

Fantastic! Time to get crankin', so I won't yank your chain, but instead
let you put pedal to metal. Grin.

Glad you're enjoying your new ride. One of the fun things about the
Atlantis is going to the gallery & seeing all the variations. Drop bars,
upright bars, racked 2 the max; naked; big tires, skinny tires; you name
it, people have done it. I'll wager the Atlantis has been configured in

Congratulations on your new to you Atlantis. It looks great, and I hope you
enjoy thousands of safe, comfortable miles on it. I just bought a new to me

years ago in a MVA. I need to change a few things before I start rid

Nice, very nice. I have too many bikes, but the Atlantis is still one that
I wish I had.

The Acorn Boxy Rando lives on my Atlantis; never leave home without
it. I find it to be just the right size to self limit casual
purchases, and leaves the rear rack open to handle the really big
stuff.
