Hello again everyone

A few offers fell through and this is still available. Admittedly,
I've also been lazy about marketing it.

I'm dropping the price to $1,650+actual shipping. There will be no
packaging fee as it has already been boxed by a bike shop- the result
of a previous potential buyer that didn't work out.

As it's boxed neatly already, any local (SF Bay Area (Mill Valley))
suitors will need to buy it boxed/disassembled. But I think the price
would still be right.

Year 2000 64 Atlantis frame & fork
8 speed cassette
Sugino triple crank
XT rear derailleur
XT front derailleur
Shimano cantilever brakes
Shimano Ultegra bar-end shifters
Nitto Grand Randonneur handlebars
Nitto Stem
American classic seatpost
32h Mavic MA2 double-walled rims, LX hubs and Panaracer Pasela Tour
Guards (700x32)
I also have a pair of new Schwalbe Big Apple 700x60s that I'll include
for free just because this was my only ride that could even
potentially fit them.

Hope to get this to a good home soon.

I'm not in the market for an Atlantis right now, but I am curious
about yours.

IIRC, shortly after the Atlantis was released there was strong
lobbying by some people who wanted top tubes shortened on Rivendells.
Again from a foggy, decade old memory, it may have been Sheldon Brown
foremost among the short tubers. I looked up the earliest Wayback
Machine captures of rivbike, and indeed on 11/1/02 there was a 62cm
top tube spec for the Atlantis in the webalog section, but slightly
earlier in the main site info (8/27/02) it was listed as the later
standard of 60cm.

Have you ever measured your top tube?
(Apologies if this was already discussed)

Also curious about geometry size of standover etc. Might be to small
for me personally but otherwise highly interested.

Roger,
My 64 cm Atlantis is a 2001 and it definitely has the 62 cm toptube.

I also curiously noticed the Atlantis's TT length change in this size from 62 cm to 60 cm a few years later.

Where are you measuring? I do not claim to know the correct way to measure a tt but on my 68cm Atlantis the distance between the head tube and the seat post is 59cm. The Rivendell geometry chart from the era my was made says the top tube on a 68 was 62 and the tt on a 64 was 60 so I must be measuring incorrectly. The brochure with the chart is undated but at the time the list price was "about $1300." I purchased my bike from Peter White in November 2003 and the frame fork and headset cost $990.

The geometry chart of the first couple Atlantis batches, from which mine came, claim the 64's TT was 62 cm. The measurement of seatlug center to just forward of headtube center is 62 cm. This seems to be how the TT is measured on the Ram also.

A temptation.  Do you have pictures?

BTW, Can anyone tell where to find the reply to sender button on this new google group format?

When you look at the top of the person's post, over to the right past the time of their post, is the   " <- Post reply | v "  box.  If you click that down-arrow, it will drop down a menu where you can pick "reply to author".

Still unsold and baby is still coming.

$1,575.

No seatpost, seat or paddles (unless you want an old old Campy
seatpost and old old somewhat broken B17). Does includes the 2x Big
Apples 700x60

Gonna take it to the 'Bay tomorrow night if there are no takers here.

Thanks all
