Front is currently 34t, which the big rear cog has now rendered rather silly
for road riding. I'm going to try a 36.

Good feedback! Will try with my medium size which is challenge to use

Almost. The cassette and derailer will be black, but I'm running a shiny
new nickel Wipperman Connex chain so it'll be a good while before I can pop
a black one in there. It was supposed to look good with the silver/black XT
derailer..oops! 😁

That loop bag is so perfect for nuts/candies/blueberries/snack bar/or any

The long Jones grips really make an already awesome bar even better. I
haven't used the black grips but the clear ones can get pretty slick when
they are wet. Something to keep in mind if this is an all-weather bike.

True, and I'm already there. I swapped that cockpit out and ended up with an
old 7-speed Suntour thumbie set to friction cuz that's what I had around. Turns
out it shifts better than the 9-speed in index so I'm good to go!

Rust is a scab on steel. With high quality steel, you'd have to really
work at it to rust it out. This stem has been treated with Ospho, and that
neutralizes the rust. Sure, in 100 years, it might be an issue. But the

Around where I live and the roads/trails I ride on, only once in several

I agree with Ash's take. I have billie bars on my Homer, and the position just

Thanks, Jeff! Yeah I think it looks better, and it sure feels better. On
today's ride I was able to focus on the rest of the bike because I wasn't
concentrating on finding comfortable hand positions. I'm a hoods rider and the
RM-3 is clearly designed to be ridden in the drops.

Get the Atlantis now and GBW later! 😉
Personally I think the Atlantis looks better, but I didn't buy it for GBW-ish
riding, either..it's mostly going to see road duty. If you want those
newfangled "plus" tires for the dirt, Gus'll do ya.

Regarding those bars, from my limited research, I seem to recall there being
two versions in terms of sizing and it’s a bit misleading how wide they really
are.
Can you give a sense of how wide these are at the drops and at the ends?
Can you compare to, say a 46

An interesting side note about the guy who was admiring my bike:

I really wish Riv would put "Rivendell" in small font on the toptube like early

Hi Mark,
Yes the handling is the same, there's hardly any weight in the bag. The
'walking speed tiller effect' is quite minimal, and possibly a result of the
tire and slack angle as much as the stem. It's not there at all with hands
forward where a short-reach stem clamp would be.

What an eclectic build! Never seen an Atlantis like this before.
The cockpit is weird, but seems very functional. Which pedal is that?
Hope this bike stays weird!
