For the first time since mid-June, I took the Rivendell Atlantis out for a spin.
This is the MIT (Made in Taiwan) Atlantis, with the very long wheelbase and sporting 700C x 55 Rene Herse Antelope Hill Extralight tires, inflated to 30PSI. It's kind of a hoot to ride. I spent a little time adjusting the saddle, which had gotten too high in June, it seems.
It didn't take very long to get the hang of this bike again. I'd like to take it out on the Reformatory Branch to give the big, soft tires their due (to say nothing of Estabrook Road).
It is, after all, a touring bike. Maybe next Summer...
