In addition to looking at the Rivs.probably will end up as an Atlantis or a Bombabut does anyone own or have ridden an A.N.T. Bike? Look well made, but have never seen one in person or met anyone who owns one. Any comments? Surf

The saluki I believe is the same frame as the AHH..The tubing is not stout, and therefore you will want to go either Atlantis or Bombadil. When I spoke to Riv, thats what they told me and I too am a big guy. Surf --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this

I find it hard to believe that someone would drop 3500.00 and not measure his pbh and read the Riv sites frame sizing guide. The price you pay for assuming. I feel bad for the ol lad. It will be a good deal for someone. Surf --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received
