I frames look very nice. I’m a bit surprised that they kept the name. I
prefer the Gus Boots Willsen.

Excellent ride report. It sounds like a great ride. I, too, have a Toyo
Atlantis and am curious to know which Rene Herse knobby tire fit on your
rig? Thanks.

Good luck with your build. I’m in a similar situation, but mine is a
rebuild of a 15 year old Atlantis. I already have replaced the wheels with
Atlas rims and am on my second silver crank so I’m not going new on those.

I bought Paul brakes for my Atlantis and initially loved them. Now,
however, they squawk like a stuck goose. I’ve cleaned the rims, sanded the
pads but with no success. They were installed by a bike shop so I don’t
think that’s the problem. It’s embarrassing to ride at times. I’m looking

My orthos slipped a lot. What I finally did was mount them in a 31.8 four
bolt stem with a shim. Now they don’t move at all. Maybe worth a try. Bill

I got lucky and snagged a large GB Willsen and now am thinking about
handlebars. What are Gus\Susie owners going to use for handlebars? Thanks for
your input. Bill

I’m quite confused about the handlebar set up with my Gus Boots WILLsen. How
would waivie bars with the nitto v4 work. I like a little forward lean as to
not have too much weight on the saddle. Tough decisions.

Awesome bike. The Bombadil is one of my favorites. How how you like the
albatross bars?

I’ve been waiting for this bike to show up and it’s been worth the wait!
Very impressive. I like the Atlantis with big tires, what size? It appears
maxed. I never would have thought that orange and purple would work. But it
certainly has. That looks like a very fun bike to ride!

I was recently gifted $500 to Rivendell. My plan was to upgrade my 2007
Atlantis with Paul brakes and levers. I placed the order only to read later
that the brakes are sold per wheel. That’s more than I wanted to spend. So
before I call Rivendell tomorrow morning to cancel I’m wondering how fol
Thanks for all of your thoughtful responses. I certainly believe that Paul
brakes are excellent and worth the price. I guess that I was surprised that
the price wasn’t for a full brake set. But that is me being out of touch
with high quality components. Most likely I’m going to cancel the order
Hugh, I run g ones 2.25 on my Atlantis with Atlas rims. The tire pushes the
limit but does work. The tires are solid on turns. I have an older model
Atlantis so they barely fit on the frame. I’m curious how you plan on
setting up your bike. Your previous Atlantis is one of my favorites, a true
I’ve been riding my Gus for a year now. It’s taken some time to warm up to
it, but having ridden through the fall and now into winter I am loving it.
It definitely feels heavy, but when I want a ride without windchill, a bike
that can plow through water, mud, over roots, basically thru anything
Kennebunk Maine, 19 degrees, felt like 4. Baby it's cold out there. Rode the

I agree. I ride the smart SAMs in the winter on the Hunqapillar. They are
remarkably smooth and yet have a lot of grip. When I switch to the duremes my
ride is quieter but not much faster. Either way both tires are excellent.

I assume it's the first generation Hunqapillar , grey and red. The smart SAMs
are 2.25 and there is plenty of room for fenders. This is the bike I
photographed for you yesterday. I hope you got the photos. Bill

It's snowing again in Maine and although I got a short ride in this morning I'm
beginning to get a bad case of cabin fever. I was looking through my favorites
on Flickr and was impressed by several photos of the all rounder. I came to

I own both an Atlantis and Hunqapillar and if I had to choose I'd go with the

You can do anything on an Atlantis. Presently I ride it fender less, rack less
and it moves quickly. I can put fenders and knobbies on her
I own an Atlantis and a Hunqapillar. I have them set up differently. The

Hey Jim. Sorry to hear of your injury. Sounds like I had the same surgery as

November and finished pt in February. I went three times a week in
