If by the 3 mounts on the seat stays you mean these * http://tinyurl.com/3v28e6l* then the purpose is to be able to mount the shorter/smaller version of the Nitto Big Rear Rack on the larger 700c models (my photo shows the smaller rack model mounted on the 58 Hunqapillar).

Johan: the Atlantis has never had mid-fork lowrider mounts. Of course, Riv has always promoted and sold Nitto racks of the non-lowrider variety. I can envision a number of possibilities for the fork crown mounts. A porteur rack is a possibility, but it may also provide a solid mounting point for

What, no front low rider mounts? That's remarkably strange. As for the three mounts on the seat stays, I can't really guess what the lowest ones are for (an extra set of low mounts on the stays would be very useful on a bike with disc brakes though), but aren't the top ones just for a regular

My wife's new LHT has mounts on the fork crown, but on the side of the crown. We were wondering what they were for. I thought I saw photos of some of the Hunqapillars with these mounts, as well, but have yet to see a rack mounted in that fashion. D.G. On Feb 24, 9:45 am, EastBayGuy wrote: > I a

Do lug molds wear out? If they need to be changed anyway, maybe different lug styles happen then. When you think about it, lugs have an element of whimsy anyway & may reflect the mood of the designer. Of course, you can always check the serial number on the BB shell. It won't tell you the year

When trying to judge the approximate age of an Atlantis my eyes go straight to the lugs adorning the head tube. There seem to be at least three different lug styles used in production models. The fork lugs and braze-on additions seem to have been changed at a different "pace" than the main lug se

Three hourglass braze-ons on the seat stays sounds like a couple of them got mis-placed. And haven't there been other models with the threaded holes in the fork crown? For tours where the bike gets shipped & assembled at the start, bolting on front racks when the fork has dedicated mounts is a sn

Could you post some photos when you get the bike built up? More rack mounts is a plus. My '03 Atlantis came with nothing on the fork, a situation I've since remedied. I seem to recall a while back there were going to be hourglass mounts on the fork for a Nitto mini-rack. Have low rider mounts be
