Hi,
Ive been on a quest for some time now (1 year+) looking for a 56 Atlantis. I would like to buy one used if possible, but am getting to the point of just ordering one directly from Rivendell.  I would be willing to buy strait out or do a trade if anybody is interested (Currently riding a Kogswell P58). Any leads?
Thanks!

Are you looking for a complete bike or F/F/HS?

There is a very nice complete Atlantis 56 on SF craigslist. Not mine.

Thanks for the link! That's exactly what I am looking for! I've sent an email, waiting to hear back and keeping my fingered crossed on this one.

I've been a huge fan and admire of rivendell for the longest time, and this summer actually was able to visit walnut creek and the two riv locations. I guess after that experience and being able to ride some of the bikes really made me relize how much I want (need?) one. I remember thinking to myself while testing the hunquapillar that I never wanted to get off the thing or ride another bike!

But my heart is set on an Atlantis. At this point if the price is fair I am open to buying either as a f/f/hs or complete. And always willing to do trading as we'll.

Thanks for keeping you eyes peeled for me

Still looking

Mike,

Just a note. The CL ad states he doesn't want to part out. The build is excellent and the price IMO quite reasonable considering what it would cost to build it up. If money is tight then maybe offer to make two payments. Many times people are willing to work with you in instances. The fact he's throwing in the racks and bags make this a deal. Nuff said.

I work pretty close the seller's location and could help if needed.

Just let me know.

Dan

The bike really is gorgeous and very fairly priced. I've sent the seller an email and am now waiting to hopefully hear back . I made it very clear that I would buy it, so I hope it works out. It's exactly what I am looking for. Thanks again for all the help! And Dan thank you very much for your generosity. If I need your assistance I'll shoot you a message.

Keeping my fingered crossed on this one!

If you bought the bike and didn't want the Large Saddlesack, I'm sure
you could get a nice price for it by selling it on this list.

Hey I was wondering a couple of things about this thread. 1. Did Mike ever get this Atlantis? 2. Does anyone have the Flickr link to the aforementioned Atlantis. It was a beauty and as I'm building one up I wanted to take another look at it. Hope Mike got it.

Hugh,
I did get an Atlantis and couldn't be happier! Although it was not the linked CL post in this thread, I purchased it from a private seller. This board is such a great resource, thanks for everyone's help. Im now a proud Riv owner. I'm in the process of doing a little work on it, when I am finished I will post some pics.
Thanks again to all the people that looked out for me

Mike
