I'll use a Brooks saddle for comparison. I had a honey B-17 with
copper rails. The combination was way too much "orangey" for me, and
the rails being a similar color to the saddle detracted from the
beauty of both.

Perhaps you are right. I'll ride it more --tho' if somone jumps up and

Yup, its a 9 speed chain. I used it briefly, perhaps a couple of
hundred miles on the shimano cassette before installing the SRAM, it
worked fine.

Interesting writeup, Alan, particulary about how you find the bike lively. I
think that my greatest disappointment has been, after the floppiness and

Certainly on the (none to common) Constructeurs. Some other models, I
am sure had them as well. Multiple rack braze ons were, however not
all that common, even on some bikes popular for touring.

Sorry I didn't see get to see you and your Sam. I haven't seen any
Rivs here in Utah yet, but I know they're out there.
I've frequently been told that my Riv is in great shape for such an

then I'd launch into the whole story. Thei

Yeah, if you Google Bridgestone Atlantis, you'll find Jim's record of
the Riv Reader that describes and shows the Bridgestone model. The
other place I had seen Atlantis in the Bridgestone context was in
reference to the XO-1 fork crown.

Dunno... I don't think there were ever a lot of the original Atlantii
around. Maybe he was thrown off by the not-quite-celeste color scheme
I feel the same way about the 1973 Motobecane Grand Record: wonderful bike;
tho' my two Riv Customs are even nicer in handling and, of course, in every
other way.
