*Not mine, no relation to the seller*


I've been tempted by this all morning, but it's two sizes too small for me and two sizes too big for my girlfriend.  So, I'll share it with the list.

An early production (Toyo), 56 cm Rivendell Atlantis.  It looks like it lacks the mid-fork braze-ons of more recent Atlantii.  Complete build with Brooks, Nitto, XT, etc., for $1350!  Somebody will get a great deal!

Buy it, and bring it to the MN country bike rally at the end of the month!

Cheers,
Tim

That looks like a real solid build and a great price. But yeah, two sizes too small!

Thanks for posting this.  I recently had an Atlantis sold out frm under me (I will be charitable and attribute it to an electronic miscommunication).  In any case, I'm going for this one. Sent an email to the seller. Would need to be shipped, but will let you know.

Jim Thill at Hiawatha Cyclery in Minneapolis used to sell Rivs.  I offer him up as a local contact to ship from.

Thanks for the idea, Tim. I'll keep that in mind, but haven't heard back from the seller yet so will just hold onto it. 

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,

As David said that's a great looking build and a more than fair price even with shipping across the country. I hope you get this one.

Thanks, Hugh. 

Good news; I've been in contact with the seller and it looks like this will probably work out.  If it does I'll have to put some Glamour Shots on Flickr.

Looking forward to some glamour from you Dr.S. I'm sure you'll tweak it just so and make it unique.
