[RBW] Re: RWTB: really want to buy riv frame

Agreed with Deacon. It took me well over a year to save up to buy my used and slightly beat Atlantis frame, and even longer to get all the parts together. But now I've got it and man do I love it. I do see some Riv's online for around the 600 range, but not often. I doubt you'd be able to find

[RBW] Coldest successful s24o yet..!

I just rolled in from a s24o. I finally got out and tried my winter camping gear. For the most part it was successful. More on that later. But here's the Coles Notes... - 70km round trip - Coldest measured temperature was -33 overnight, -38 windchill - Incredibly enough, no frost bite - Rode 20km

[RBW] Re: Coldest successful s24o yet..!

Whew, ok. Sorry for the delay, I'm in the middle of moving so there is lots to do! Back to the story, and answering questions. I recently purchased a North Face synthetic bag off a friend. The bag is rated to -30C and I've been itching to try it out. Over the last two weeks, the temperature ha

Love it!! If I may ask, what chain rings are you running, and BB spindle length? I've got white 44/30 on my Atlantis. Thinking of dropping to a 44/28. Beautiful bike! > On Feb 9, 2015, at 11:21 PM, Z wrote: > > > >> On Monday, February 9, 2015 at 5:53:21 PM UTC-7, Wildcat96 wrote: >> Hmm..

Amazing. +1 for skinny-legged folk. And I'd be all over a classic Riv wool jersey. On Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at 10:28:51 AM UTC-6, SpiralCage wrote: > > Man I wish I'd gotten a pirate shirt too! > > Enthused to hear about the return of seersucker as well. I wore the > original Riv seersuc

[RBW] Re: Bent Handlebars Question

About a week after putting a new pair of Noodles on my Atlantis (whatever the widest non-heat treated width is, possibly 46 actually), it caught a strong gust of wind while leaning on a tree and landed right on the right-side drop. It bent the bars in about 5mm or so. I've been riding the crap

[RBW] Atlantis or Hunq - what's the real difference?

I've had my Atlantis for about half a year now and am loving it. I usually run it with 2.1 WTB Nano's, and feel like I could probably get 2.2's in there actually. Most of the riding I've been doing is on trails, back roads, across fields, over the snow, etc. AKA, not pavement. I don't have any

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis or Hunq - what's the real difference?

Maybe quantity? complexity of paint and lugs? I think the tubing would be very marginal in the total scheme of things. Visit Nova Cycle's website. You can see the pricing of a ton of different tube-sets and lugs. The pricing is all fairly comparable. On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 12:22 PM, drew beckmey

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis or Hunq - what's the real difference?

Meh. I'm not sure when my Atlantis is from, but I'm thinking early 2000's or so. If it's heavier than others, I'd never know with all the crap I've got bolted/strapped/hanging off of it. I am, however, jealous of the Atlantis' (Atlanti?) with the fancier lugs and mid-fork braze-ons. Very jealous.

[RBW] Re: Winter/Snowy pics

My derailleurs also freeze up. Usually I give the rear bar-end shifter a full-range shift, IE: from the smallest to largest cog and back, then shift to the gear I want. Moving the cable in the housing that much seems to help free it up. Usually the issue is moisture from warm air (inside) freeze

[RBW] (f)Atlantis gets a new look

I got a deal on a pair of Albatross bars from my LBS so I had to give it a try. I had Noodles on before, which I found to be one of the most comfortable bars I've tried yet. After two rides, I've gotta say. This is a new level of luxury. I feel like I'm riding a couch on two wheels. It's not so

Re: [RBW] (f)Atlantis gets a new look

I should add, the Nitto Campee rack has a threaded eyelette in just the right spot. No need for an upside-down light with this rack. On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 10:10 AM, Mark Reimer wrote: > It's pretty simple really, just a long bolt running through a Problem > Solvers fender nut.

Re: [RBW] (f)Atlantis gets a new look

It's pretty simple really, just a long bolt running through a Problem Solvers fender nut. There is a split/lock washer in there somewhere as well. I never intended it to be permanent but it's worked so well I haven't had any need to replace it in six months. The light stays where I want it even whe

[RBW] Re: (f)Atlantis gets a new look

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Now to the questions! Regarding using the Albatross bars on longer rides. One thing I've really noticed is that due to my much more upright position on the bike, I don't get as much power onto the pedals. 99% of the time I wouldn't care, but if I was on a lon

[RBW] Re: (f)Atlantis gets a new look

Paul, sorry forgot to address your last question. The photo of the Atlantis in the trees is in the Assiniboine Forest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It's among the largest urban forests in the world I recently learned. It's a large protected forest area with a few walking paths and many trails

[RBW] Re: How do you clean you bike below freezing?

I use a soft brush to wipe as much slush and snow clear as possible. Grab a somewhat clean rag and wipe it down. I wish I could keep my bike outside year permanently during cold season. I hate bringing it inside and knowing there is snow melting and water pooling on the steel frame, no matter ho

[RBW] Re: Paul Brakes -- Wow!

Paul brakes are the best! I race cross with a pair of neo retro's. Can't imagine ever needing more brake. I can easily lock up the wheels if I wanted too. Nice and smooth modular braking. I tried using trp cx8.4's and hated them compared to the Paul's. I'd love a pair of touring brakes on my Atl

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Brakes -- Wow!

Deacon, I agree with you on this. Getting the straddle as close to 90 degrees has always been the position which yielded the greatest stopping power for me. With my neo-retro's (Aka the 'weaker' of the paul canti's) I have the cable long and up high, and I have enough power to lift up the back whe
