2003 Rivendell Atlantis 56cm

 

Purchased early 2014 and repainted by Allan Wanta.  Beautiful understated frame color. It’s always been garaged. It has been used so does have scratches in the paint which I touched up with model paint. I’ve tried to show all of the scratches in the pictures. They actually look worse in the pictures than in reality. The seat tube cluster was created by the frame pump. The one and only chain suck was enough to take the largest amount of paint off (touched up) but can’t be seen as the crank hides it. The drive train is in great shape with lots of life left. The serial number isn’t visible on the bottom bracket in the pictures due to thicker paint. The Serial # AT0502 is there. Since Rivendell doesn’t maintain a serial # page these days it seems moot.

On shipping you pay shipping and insurance in the continental U.S.  I’ll do my best Rivendell packing and find you the least expensive shipping cost I can find but usually it’s around $150.00. I’d prefer a check I don’t mind waiting. My preference is to sell this as a complete bike. If  you’re looking for just a F/F let me know and if it doesn’t sell complete I may consider selling just the F/F.

Ditto. Hugh, for those of us playing along at home, what's your PBH and/or what is the saddle height as pictured?

Oh and it's a Toyo built Atlantis if it matters.

Hugh:

That is one beautiful ride.  Someone is going to be getting the deal of a lifetime.  I know how much time, effort, thought & love went into that bike.  That is an incredible build.  Anyone thinking "someday maybe I'll get an Atlantis" needs to move on this.

Hey Doug,

Thanks! It's hard to let it go. If I could keep it and do what I want I would. I agree someone's gonna have a sweet ride.

I can vouch for this being a sunning bike IRL. If you are considering
this, just do it!

Wow! That is a fantastic bike! I love the color. Also, is the Steal Your Face under the clear coat? I've been thinking hard about swapping out the Hunq for an Atlantis but I need a 59 or 61cm. What a great build though.

Tim,

Thanks! Are you speaking of the Dead sticker on the seat tube? If so I wish it was.
