53 Atlantis

[R Shannon]

Kellie:

Here is my 53 Atlantis. Typical Riv build with the exception of the non-aero levers.

Best regards,
Richard

Nice Rich. You splurged for a custom color? Is that 26" or did you go for the new 650b?

[Bill Lindsay]

That looks like 650B to me.  Also the 650B ones have a tiny more top tube slope.  

I recommend getting the arms of that F15 rack flat.  It's leaning forward

Kellie, wheels are 26". Last year I experimented with 650b wheels and Paul Motolites. Raised the bb height too much for my liking. I prefer the 26 size/Shimano CX-70 canti combination. Current tires are 1.50 Panaracers. I have also run Compass 1.75s but those are going on my recently acquired Clem from a goodfella list member.

I did spring for the extra $350 to get the Hunq gray color. Very pleased with the gray and cream combo.

Bill, don't know why the F15 is angled down but I assure you it and the bag are now level. Nice catch and thank you!

Regards,
Richard

Paselas? 1.5 Paselas are what I had on my 26" all-rounder. I am now using the 1.5 Compass McClure Pass tires which seem to be suppler than the Paselas on my AR and X0-1...but they really look a lot like those Paselas. CX-70's are excellent cantilevers, too and  like the custom colour

[Kellie]

I actually really like the 650b platform but I have a couple 26" wheel bikes and I'm really comfortable with those off-road. I also acquired the 26" Atlantis.

Agree with you about 650b. I've got that size covered with my 51 Sam. A little more plush ride than 26.
