IMG_6179.jpegHi all, I'm posting this for my friend who's selling her gorgeous Atlantis because she hasn't ridden it for several years and wants it to go to someone who'll ride and appreciate it, the way such a fine rig should be!

It's 47cm, a Toyo frame as confirmed by John of (former shop) Rivelo, and she thinks it's probably from the late 90s based on the serial number, and she bought the frame from a Salt Lake City shop more than a decade ago.

A mechanic friend built the current configuration, and it has lots of high-end parts with very little wear on them- White Industries, Paul brakes, Supernova lights, hand-built Velocity wheels, Brooks Cambium, and more. I took it for a short spin around the block this weekend, and even though it is almost cartoonishly too small for me, it shifted crisply and stopped perfectly.

She'd love to sell it to someone local in the Portland, OR metro area but is will to ship for the right buyer. More details on her CL post along with lots of photos. The spec list is below. If you're interested, contact me off-list and I can connect you.

Thanks so much!
Emily

I remember that recently someone around 5’ tall was looking for a bike. THis one is beautiful and perhaps it would be good for her. I don’t remember her name or other info so I could alert her. Perhaps someone else remembers?

I was just in that SLC shop today, Saturday Cycles. They've got quite a few Rivendell frames hanging from the ceiling,  mostly Hilsens and Hillbornes in the mid-fifties size ranges, with one big 64cm Hilsen.

That's a pretty little Atlantis. Wish Emily luck on the sale!

Great, appreciate that, Roberta- I know it’s hard can hard to find good bikes for very short people. 

Thanks, Gordon- good to know the shop is still around and kicking!
