1) It will be a bit newer.

Sisson's book got me thinking and helped me to redefine what I consider food.
The advice in the Rivendell catalog about Sisson's book says that whether or
not you adhere 100% to the Primal Blueprint, what you learn from reading the
book will benefit you, and if those benefits cause you to make
I really don't need a bike, but my Hunqupillar plan would be mountain bike. And
just like Bill, I currently ride an MB-4 offroad even though it's only 55 cm.
(My other bikes are 62, 64, 65 cm.) But I don't think I can bring myself to
replace my MB-4 as the dedicated knobby offroader. I've been
I'm one person who likes the seat forward, and the 72 degree seat angles are
probably too low for me. So on my Rivendells, I mount the Thomson seatpost when
I can. I've found that on my Bridgestones and Trek, this isn't necessary,
probably because their angles are 72.5 and 73 degrees.

Ray,
I've had the same experiences. I wanted to be tempted by the Roadeo, but the
Rambouillet won't let it happen.

I just finished doing a mod to the Atlantis relevant to this. My 2001 Atlantis is relatively early, although not the very first batch. Still, it's a 64 cm frame with a 62 cm toptube - quite long! They later changed this dimension to 60 cm on the 64 cm frame. Anyway, my bike seems to have dimension
I say if the $1000 difference is manageable, the Atlantis is the way. At times
I'd recommend the AHH, but if some touring or offroad is the plan, the Atlantis
can't be beat for maximum versatility. It's my oldest Rivendell (from 2001),
and it's (metaphorically) that best old friend with whom yo
But I think the '93 was a bit better in versatility than the '92. The cantis and tire clearance are great. The '93 XO-1 is still one of my most versatile bikes. It holds up well compared to my Rivendells. The 26ishness of it is what distinguishes it from my large Rivendells.

I wonder if the 64, 66, and 68 sizes of the Atlantis will be available again
for the ones made at Waterford.

We'd have to coordinate so that we don't all show up with our blue or blue-green Rivendell models. The booth would need a little color variety.

First off, looking forward to Sunday. Staring at my unmounted fenders now.
But main topic: I just realized that I can go to the show tomorrow. So should I
drive and deal with parking the car and leave bike at motel or should I ride
the bike to the show. Sounds like a no-brainer, but here's the
s wondering that myself. I noted they have bike valet, but kind of
