Thanks guys! I was lucky to squeeze in a visit, I really want to get back there and get the chance to spend some more time and explore the HQ as well. Oh and I'm sizing up all the rooms in my house for which one is getting the ceiling bell grid treatment... guest bathroom...? :) Tony O

studs are intriguing! Might be a fun project though I'm not sure these tires are a good candidate. I'm definitely jealous of your snow-less, moderate to amazing constant weather patterns! Tony On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 12:03 AM, hsmitham wrote: > Tony, > > Don't know why but

That is a great looking build kit for a 700c Atlantis/Hunq... I'm definitely enjoying the fat tires. I'm not 100% sure of the legalities of cycling on the Mall but it was a pretty sparse day for pedestrians and I felt like it was safe. Great backdrop for pictures! -- You received this message

Beautiful bike, Paul. A few years ago, I thought that a Soma San Marcos would give be enough of a Riv fix to get me by for a while. Since I bought the Atlantis last Summer, I have been tempted to see what the other end of the Riv spectrum is like. At 6', 170 lbs, and 89 PBH, it is nice to kno
