I just got my email from RBW about pre-ordering the book and I'm pondering
what would be best, RBW or one of the vendors. Since Grant says that they
want to build confidence in the vendors, I'm thinking that Amazon might be
best. They include user reviews of everything, so readers could post
When this subject came up a couple weeks ago, I filled out my public
library's "recommended acquisition" web form and suggested that thousands
of cyclists in our town (Madison, WI) would love to read the book. It's a
natural for any public library collection. (hint, hint).

I have a three day pass. I'll be there today and at least a part of
Saturday. No particular plans for Sunday. Saturday there's a ride
scheduled to leave at 8:30 from a pub out to the bike museum in Davis
and back that I'd like to do. I'll be on my green Riv Road with a
green Carradice Barley.
Weight?
It's all in the rear of the beholder. ;>)
Don't worry.
Remain calm.

If you have fun riding the bike who cares? I've heard it is possible to develop
a syndrome where one

That's when the real trouble starts.

Last time I had the scale out I weighed my Hilsen, came in at a cool 36lbs,
haha. When I think of how much I weigh and what a joy it is to ride it I
dont even think twice about it. I used to ride plastic bikes but like many
would agree unless you are one of the "top riders" there really is no point
Just be cautious. when bike are weighed for spec purposes, the bikes are
usually bare of any accoutrements-no bottle cages, no bags, no computers, no
fenders, no pedals.
I weighed my rear bag after a brevet once and found that it alone weighed 10lbs
with all the stuff I had in it. Add a couple
Yeah. I'd also point out that 650b conversions are usually done to
address shortcomings in a bike--limited fat tire/fender clearance and
a too high ("crit geometry") bottom bracket. The Atlantis is so super
and versatile as is, I don't think there's any need or reason to
convert it.

Thanks the responses. Consider me off the ledge but still investigating the
possibility of a more stripped down bike. The pictured bike is my one and
only and as set up serves me well in that regard. City riding, work out
rides, 80+ mile all day fun rides, hauling the kid to school in the
