The bike is a new Rivendell Atlantis 58cm touring bike.

I put this together with a mix of salvaged parts from other bikes and new parts to supplement what I didn't have. The bike is my daily commuter to work and I tow my gear in a B.O.B. trailer. After detaching the BOB I mainly do club rides and plan on some overnight camping trips to test the waters for an anticipated tour.

The build specs:
Mavic Open Pro 32h rims Ultegra Rear, Shimano Dynohub front, Pasela TG 700x35. Sugino XD crank 48/36/24 with a 12-27 9speed Ultegra cassette.
Shimano Tiarga Front de.
Ultegra Rear with Dura-Ace barcons.
Avid Shorty 6 Brakes with Dia Compe levers.
Brooks B-17 Champion Special.
Nitto Noodle bars 44cm stem and rack.
SKS fenders with Spanninga rear light and B&M Lumotec front.
Carradice bag and a Zepal HP are the toppers!
