I don't want a second top tube on any bike I own because it would serve no
real purpose and add needless weight (and also, perhaps, rigidity where I
don't want it), but I do have to say that the curved second tube on those
Atlantises looks wonderful *as sculpture.* In fact, merely aesthetically, I
Patrick, I have my Roadini set up with 35s...I think 38 would squeeze in but
this feels cushy considering the road-like frame and generous flex of the fork,
even on woodsy trails. Ive run jack browns, and 28s with fenders, but with 35s
its in the sweet spot of being truly all road.

I can imagine it's useful once you get into the 60cm range, since the
average rider weight is going up while the structural triangulation of the
frame is going down. But I can't deny that I love the totally unnecessary
extra tube on the Hunq so who am I to judge.

Patrick, I believe you're right, it's a matter of experience. For the first

Generally I have no problems with v-brakes. I like them. When I used them
on my last 2 Riv builds, I felt like they can a bit too abrupt for front

Since V brakes are often (not always!) more powerful (meaning, here, brake
harder for given hand pressure) than cantilevers, I'd say that you are
wasting your time thinking of a V for the rear. I can see a V for the

That looks like an excellent ride! At least on a bike like the Atlantis you are
able to enjoy the scenery as well instead of it flying by.

For sale is a used small Sackville Trunksack. A few signs of use but no
issues to mention. Olive color. I purchased this from a fellow RBW
member; however, I have a really small front rack, and the attachment
points on this bag didn't work for my setup. Should work well with
standard front
Agree. I had the cheapest mini-v brakes up front (Tektro 926al) and a
Suntour XC Pro canti brake in the rear and worked well. The problem I had
with canti up front was it would squeal, shudder and had almost no stopping
power. I changed pads to Kool stop salmon and that helped, but the problems
I'm with Patrick on this, if you're going to use a canti front then I don't see
how a v rear helps anything.

Reading about the construction flaws on this bike reminds me of a story /

I looked at the VO website. The triple seems to use a tripleralizer design
for the inner ring. You need a special middle ring having the extension
and holes for the inner ring, sinc ethe crank has no casting for the inner
ring nuts. Something to consider.

John, I ordered that and the Sugino. The Sugino is MIJ, the Velo is MIT.
The Velo triple feels hollow, I am waiting for the Sugino to come to do a

with them in the past.
Thanks for your thought, hope all is well.

Yes, the extra tube strengthens the frame. Otherwise you would be left with
a wobblier triangle and have to use thicker tubes and there goes at least
some of your weight savings. I think it's a good solution and looks cool,
so a double win.
