Super good-looking bike--that syringa vulgaris paint job is quite wynsum!

Ha! Isn't it amazing how different the bikes feel? I was also surprised by
the difference between my Hunqapiller and Quickbeam, both unloaded. I've
settled into a pattern of always leaving my panniers on the Hunqapillar, so
the difference "unloaded" is even greater. Yet the difference in time to
I've gotten out for a few rides already, but hope to go on a longer one
today. So far, I am shocked at how much lighter the Saluki is over my
Atlantis. While weight isn't a terribly significant factor for me, I
expected them to be the same. It is nice to have lighter bikes when I have
to car
Congrats Matt! I believe I'm very familiar with that particular Purple-Luki
and it's a fine bike. You'll have to report back after a couple rides and do
in your own impressions of the Saluki!

Horses -- I understand. Fortunately, around here, the soil is sandy and
usually dry, so that while we have plenty of horses, their hoofmarks are
annoying only after rains (and the soil dries very quickly here) when the
surfaces are for a brief while very choppy.

It is indeed a Flyer and it takes just a bit out of the bumps. I probably
don't need it with those tires, but that was really my only spare saddle.
It does not give much, but I started using those over a standard B17 when I
was riding trails shared with horses. Riding over the hoof prints cou
Very nice.
Champion Flyer? Do the springs work for you with drop bars? I tried one and
I thought it didn't "give" enough to make it worthwhile, but this was on a
drop barred mountain bike. Perhaps its time to try one again?

I could not have gotten luckier. The bike is great. The seller was
fantastic to work with...in that he actually delivered the bike to me. It
is mostly his build, minus the saddle and pedals. I don't plan to change
anything, except maybe adding a pump to the 3rd set of bottle braze-ons.

Wow! Perfect!!
Great bike to find and an excellent build to add to that.
Congrats!

Matt:
I have a 61 Bleriot (sidepulls, not canti's) I would consider selling.
Email me at denning at bright.net if interested in talking. I am in Ohio.

Matt, I have often wanted an Atlantis but have regrettably never gotten
one. I do have a 62cm cantied Saluki and a 62 cm Ram. I love them both.
As someone else mentioned, the AHH was brought to market as a revised
Saluki. The Saluki is not as fast or agile as the Ram, but is not slow
eithe
I have both and LOVE both. Both cantis. I've set up the Saluki with drops
and ride it the longer distances on road (though it's great on fire roads
with Fatty Rumpkins), and use it on the indoor trainer. The Atlantis get's
ridden most the time, road and commuting, and all the off-road adventures
Hi Matt,
I have a 53 Rivendell All Rounder with 26inch wheels, which is like an
Atlantis, and a 54 650B Saluki. I like both. The Saluki feels taller and
steadier and lighter. The All Rounder feels more sluggish but quick in the
turns, and stronger and takes wider tires with fenders. Lately
Had a 56cm Atlantis. Traded for a 59cm AHH which was traded for a 60cm
canti Saluki. Very happy with the Saluki although it was nice to run
"monstercross"-sized tires on the Atlantis. It's my happy medium bike,
combining construction ideas of GP and rando/brevet ideas of JH/BQ. I load
it up
I have one and it is pretty awesome. I use it for brevets and dirt riding
and it handles both really well. I believe you can order a 650b Homer
Hilsen which is essentially the same bike except that it is readily
available.
