for cycling photography - Rollei 35, Olympus XA, Ricoh GR and GR21 - but I
also occasionally carried a 120 roll file camera as well, either a

I thoroughly enjoyed this write-up. I can tell you've put in a lot of
thought to this bike, and it's beautiful.
Your approach to this build as a performance upright bicycle and your
subsequent revelations as to the comfort mirror my own on my new, purple
Appaloosa. I have the same bars too, but
Wow...that's some build...love that chainring attachment for your basket.
Really creative! Did you do that yourself or is that something you bought?
Anyway, nice bike and that color kind of grows on you

Nice Atlantis. What are you looking for in a Sam that the Atlantis doesn't
provide? They are both great bikes.

I'm not being critical, just curious. The Sam seems more of an all-rounder
and the Atlantis more of a touring bike? I just bought a Roadini to ride
mostly road miles.

I had a series 3 flats in a short time with Tubolito. I almost never flat.
Company replaced 2 promptly
I can’t blame the tube for 1 of those flats as I picked up a rock puncture.
Also experienced valve leak that was fixed with Loctite.
Bought a patch kit to fix 2 tubes neither patches held.

Yes I have been using the Olympus C-7070 for color photos, though mine is a

I use a flip phone so a dedicated camera is essential if I want to take
photos. It actually takes great pictures, shoots fully manual and in

Standover is 28.5 inches. This is as small as I think Riv's are made.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
*@Leah* - I feel like evntually I'll switch the v-brakes. Right now
that will require a rack change, and I love the F32 front as it's all
brazed and very lightweight. I also utilize a Nitto NR-21 rear rack for a
saddle bar support for the longer day rides
Congrats on dialing in that build, Armand. Wishing you many happy miles.

in Mountain View, California. Unfortunately, the road was gated and closed
to the public back in the 1970's.

When I carry a camera, it's been an RX100 (III), too. After all these

size, and zoom range.
