Both are easy to fender depending on your tire size. The Atlantis (in my size which uses 26" tires) can take a wider tire than the Hillborne. But also, in my particular size, the Hillborne was 650b and the Atlantis is 26" wheel size...I think the Hillborne was a faster bike, in general. I could descend a hill on the Hillborne full speed with absolutely no problem
I pretty much have the same setup on the Atlantis as on the Hillborne and I think they both ride well with caveats. The Atlantis handles a load better and going up hills it doesn't have the front wheel wobble my Sam sometimes showed. This was more pronounced with just a rear load on the Sam. The Atlantis rides better loaded down rather than bare, I feel, which is good because I generally ride that bike carrying a load. If unloaded, I think the Atlantis feels just a tad dead on the road and I didn't feel that on the Sam, which I rode unloaded quite a bit. I personally think the Atlantis is the better looking bike; I find the color, the cream headtube, the headbadge, and the lugs a bit better looking than the Sam. Not that the Sam was a bad looking bike, just that the Atlantis is a little fancier. I see room for both of these bikes, but the Atlantis set up with front and rear big racks and the Hillborne ready to ride quicker. That's just me though.
