Glad you are excited, Caroline. There are quite a few riders in your 'hood. Lovely B. Foy, by the way.

Cheers, John

Another trip to the desert, this one the California State Poppy Reserve in west end of Antelope Valley LA Co. This is south of Lancaster Rd, south from the state park. Spring 2019. If SoCal rain today - Tuesday gets out to the desert, it should prolong the bloom a bit. Not as good as 2019, but respectable this year.

Haha, good one Andy. This hue has been a desire since I saw Dave riding a Masi in said hue on the big screen way back yonder. Not creamsicle but burnt Appaloosa orange, Rambouillet's are the bees knees :)

I'm unsure a Onyx hub is in my future? 

Seems you have some (less than ideal) experience with the xtr rear mechanical? 

Cheers,

Hugh

Nice hue, Hugh! That's an Atlantis advertising genetics it shares with an early stablemate in that color. Not creamsicle, but it doesn't take much to conjure Rambouillet.

Nice build, I'm sure eager for your impressions of the Onyx hubs, especially after you've ridden some miles and several sets of tires. I love the good news of parts that are really worthy and hope those live up to your feelings for your XTR RD.

Morning Bill,

And happy spring. Life's been busy these days so the final push to build was constantly delayed,  once I peeled some time off it went pretty quick. I spent some time prepping the frame previously with frame saver and helicopter tape in the vulnerable areas since it will see dirt and rocks.

Regarding tire size, it is maxed out. Especially in the rear and particularly because of the motolites, they're a great brake but the noodle and straddle cable sit pretty low. The tires are 650b x2.2.

I appreciate the praise,  orange, purple and green are favorites colors of mine and yeah it does work.  I have only ridden it 9 miles on a MUP  But it is very fun to ride. Maybe because of the tire choice but it rides completely different from my road Atlantis.

Cheers!

Hugh

I’ve been waiting for this bike to show up and it’s been worth the wait! Very impressive. I like the Atlantis with big tires, what size? It appears maxed. I never would have thought that orange and purple would work. But it certainly has. That looks like a very fun bike to ride!

Howdy Atlantis Folks,

Been a while but I'm finally ready to show my Orange'Lantis off. Finished the build last night and took it for a spin on the LA River MUP today and did a little photo shoot. Beautiful day all and all. Not sure the Map Ahearn bars will stay but here it is in all it's Orangey glory.

Hi Rivy Peps,

There's a lotta love for many of the Riv models out there and rightly so but I think the flagship model born from the original all-rounder needs some attention. So in that spirit let's see you Atlantis. Extra points for close-up pictures of your cockpit and other details like wheels, but we of course want to see a nice portrait too!

Let's have some fun!
