I agree with ChefDurfee, that color is stunning, as is the whole setup of
this Atlantis. The red accents at play with the Jolly Rancher apple geen
are eye-catching. Must be so satisfying to pedal around on.

If that used Centurion is in your general size range, it would be a
fantastic starting point for your road bike exploration. Refreshing an old
frameset (whether to replace worn out parts with new ones or to improve
fit) can be such a fun and satisfying process.

Ted, I am sure you've posted it before, but I'd love to see a picture of
your Waterford. The ST-22 was one bike I always wanted to acquire, even
though I now have a Sam.

Too late! I actually went with the gold in 50cm.
FWIW, I compared the frame size after delivery to my vintage Stumpjumper
(with Ron's Ortho bars), and Bombora. I actually don't think it will be an

I'm going to bump this because I'm still looking. With all the bar swapping

While I'm at it, I'm also looking for some Silver Shifters (1st gen) in

Fine article Joe! I imagine there will now be a run on Riv bikes and RH
tires. The more people on bikes, the better!

For sure, the axiom 'Know Thyself' applies here.
Regarding the earlier suggestion to 'have at it' should probably be
tempered with honest assessment of your skills and inclinations. I think my
greatest fear has been, among others like cross-threading, for example,
dropping a wrench on fragile tubi

Excellent article Erl; thanks for sharing! Leave it to the Japanese to
