I love my Rambouillet and I'm glad to see Riv bringing back a pure road bike, whatever the name, and not surprised to hear that the Atlantis is under stress. Personally I love the name Rambouillet, I think the play on rambling exactly captures the spirit of the bike, and the Ram image, as a bike

Just returned from an annual family vacation in San Clemente. The town has a huge bike culture, with everyone seemingly on a bike. Lots of the lycra & logos crowd, but the vast majority were just folks in shorts and a jersey/t-shirt riding along. I was able to get out for three 20 milers, one sa
