and I am having second thoughts of bringing it to my next big trip.
I am thinking of bringing my 48 Hunqapillar but I prefer the ride quality

Hi Raf,
I have an Albatross on my Toyo Atlantis.
But on the MIT Atlantis with long top tube, I preferred the Billie bar
specially the longer grip area which allows me to have more area to grip on
the bend part.
But I use thumb shifters on the Billie :-)

Hi Alex,
I am not sure if you have checked the pbh chart at Riv's website.
Based on the pbh chart, it looks like a 53 MIT Atlantis would best fit a 85
cm pbh.
It is perfectly in the middle of the range from 83 to 87 cm pbh.

When the ship the bike, they put a styrofoam on top of the seat tube that

Hi Joe, looking at your 55 Cheviot, you may have higher pbh. I once bought
a 55 Cheviot but sold it since I need to shove the seat post all the way
down even with
+1 on John’s recommendation.
I use the Bike Tow leash on my 3 year old Belgian Malinois.
Its expensive but well worth it.

As usual, nice pictures Patrick!
Btw, what do you use to mount your phone/camera to take those pictures?
Happy New Year!

All this discussion on Suntour thumb shifters makes me want to purchase a
pair while waiting for the Silver 2's
Which particular Suntour thumb shifter can be used for 8 speed cogs?
Can this be installed inside the handlebar?
Thanks guys for any help.

Thanks Garth, I appreciate the help.
Now I need to find a pair to try on my Cheviot :-)

Thanks for the "Tacx T4415 Cartridge Tool" tip.
Will definitely get one for my tool kit.
It's definitely a bugger to remove specially if the threads of the bottom
bracket were not chased before installation.

I have been patiently waiting for new rims for my Susie ever since I read
the news that Rivendell is working with Velocity for a new rim for their
Hillibikes.
I sent Velocity an email to check if they are still doing this project with
Rivendell and this is the reply I got.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the link.
I am hoping that Velocity will build the widest practical rim for Grant's
planned V-brakes.
Same here, I want to have my Susie as a dedicated trail bike :-)
By the way, could you send a picture and specs of your proto Gus? :-)

Hi Collin!
Wow! dried up mud :-)

deraileur?

Hi Oliver,
Same here and currently ~152 lbs so seriously considering a Susie but I
plan to use the hillbike on the GDMBR loaded.
But with all the camping gear, it would still make sense to use the GBW :-)

Hey, someone should purchase this 53 Atlantis.
By the way, this particular size is not anymore available from Riv.
It this were a size 50 I would be calling Joe already :-)

Hi Joe,
Your 53 Atlantis is too tall for my 80 pbh and I am only 5'-5":-(

Thanks Doug, unfortunately according to Riv sizing chart the 53 is too
large.

Agree!
If it were not for the GBW I would be getting this Cheviot.
Someone should grab this! :-)
