I am planning on a cross-USA tour within a couple of years, and I am trying to decide between these two bicycles. The BG is made for touring specifically ( www.bgcycles.com/rnr.html and a good comparison between BG and Rivendell Heron at www.bgcycles.com/faq.html ). Price is about the same (BG is ~USD 300 more expensive) but I am wondering which will serve me better. Rivendell's lugged frame is nice, but BG has thicker walled tubing.
For the second web site above with the comparison, if some of you with the Rivendell Atlantis could fill in some blanks and let me know what you think, that would be great! I would appreciate feedback from anyone who can help me out! Thanks!
