This is very painful. I purchased my Atlantis in 2008 directly from Grant who specified components. It is in excellent condition. Some of the components are Nitto Noodle, Dura Ace bar ends, Paul cantilevers, Honjo hammered fenders, Schwalbe Marathons, Shimano XT derailleurs, 36 spoke Mavic rims, Nitto rear rack. Bars are canvas tape with Bullseye shellac. 

I have taken excellent care of my Atlantis. I'm gettin' old and got a new hip a few years ago. I can't ride like I used to and I am reluctantly switching to an ebike. 

As far as blems go, the chain jumped once and nicked the chainstay and bottom bracket. I covered the chainstay with hockey tape and shellacked it. I touched up the nick in the bottom bracket with Testor 2135 (the bottle I have comes with the bike). There is a tiny ding in one of the Honjos. 

You can see the original build on my Flickr account which is ahurvitz. The seat has mellowed and the bars have been re-wrapped, but the bike looks great. 

I haven't set a price yet or officially put it up for sale. I'm considering Craigslist and eBay. But I thought I'd post this here first, because I know you all care about RBW and I want it to go to a good home. I'm not desperate to sell and (I think) I know what the bike is worth. If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me. I live in the Boston area. Pick-up would be great, but I'm also happy to ship. I'll take new pics as well.

Thanks,

Alan

Hey there I am also in MA and am interested. What is your height? I was reading on Rivendell's size charts that they would actually put me on a 55... but that is according to the new sizes. If this is an older model it might change, but what is the minimum pbh for this? Happy to go out and test ride it too!
