I love that ride. I’ve crossed paths with the pilot of that Ritchey a number of times, on Myrtle or DeKalb. So maybe I should ask, who is that?

I ran into the guy who sold me my bike Friday this morning. He was riding an Atlantis with a big, weird, yellow suspension stem with a red spring in it. Perfect.

edit: something like this

I regret not buying a bike from the tip with one of these. But then again it was severely UV faded and the elastomer was cooked.

I had a second chance recently with a non TAF one, but it had been converted to rigid super boner mode. So I passed again. Also I have no 1" threaded bikes to put it on anyway.
