This is a good discourse on the bike, very provocative discussion. I think Grant also answered most amicably, albeit probably many revision……smart guy.

I would like anyway to tell, if able, if the new Rivendell……post Toyo, now Waterford Atlantises have a fork more like you envisioned and did…….or if not….at least a bit different, to accomodate any shimmy, shimmy, shake issues.

The Rivendell Atlantis is my “dreambike”………have actually thought about it before Grant started Rivendell, actually. So I am a big fan and wish him and the Rivendell Team the best.

This post was most informative. I’ve been fretting with the same problem with my 1998 Rivendell Longlow. Thanks.

I would do it again, Jeremy. The bike is now better suited for a front-end load, but I don’t feel like I sacrificed any stability when riding it unloaded. Good luck on your own experimentation.

I’m thinking of having Tony build a new low trail fork my my custom Riv All rounder with 26″ wheels. The bike feels a bit twitchy for my taste. Now that you’ve had this fork almost a year what are your thoughts? Would you do it again?

Thanks,
Jeremy
