So what is the reason you'd prefer a Hilsen to an Atlantis? I hope
it's frame size, not weight. A person who weighs 235 is not going to
notice a pound difference in the weight of a bike frame! And people
who have weighed X + 20 but now weigh X ought, in general, to consider
that they might well weigh X + 20 again.
