Jason, I concur with your assessment of the new Atlantis. I had always
pined for one, ever since the inception of the model. In fact, other than
the "LongLow", it was the first Riv I coveted. But, alas, things have

Agreed. Speaking only for myself, the reason for using a triple, is for

I already own one - a pumpkin orange from 2017. If they offer the new one

How are you finding the brakes? Very nice looking. I’m running cantilevers on
my workhorse Sam (Shimano CX 70), but if I can manage to hustle a second sam in
“fast” mode, I may well choose these (given your approval, of course).

I suppose if I went to a Jones on my Sam, I'd need to get a face plater

Ted, your GLSam looks splendid with the California backdrop! But, do you
think you could have caught Lael had you ridden West Coast Sam?

I ride 700c, but agree that Bruce Gordon R&R are excellent tires! Fantastic
on the rough stuff, and good on pavement. The owners are great people, too,
providing excellent customer support.

I got the Double Ventile Greenspot (based on recommendations from the list)
last year and have come to realize a few things:
1. The quality of stitching, zippers, fabric is superb
2. The jacket is indeed fairly heavy and hot. I would not recommend it for
cycling in warmer temperatures. When I us
I don't know, but that old black was the nicest I've ever seen! That color
really pops. Although I've got an Orange Sam, I'd be mighty tempted to get
another in Black, assuming the dimensions/specs are the same on the
forthcoming iteration.

I also have been very impressed with NFS. I used to use boeshield, and
triflow, and finishlineWhere I live in Oregon it is wet 8 months a
year. I commute daily, and oil gunking up the drivetrain can be a real
mess. So I tried the NFS simply to keep everything cleaner. It has been the

Sorry if you already answered this and I missed it, but: How does the ride
of your HOmer compare to that of your Hillborne? Is the Homer noticeably
more sprightly? Noticeably a better climber? Etc.
Thanks. I own a 700c Hillborne and love it, but I want to get a 650b bike,

Shimano CX-70 (no longer in production) are the best I've used for stopping
