We'll just have to wait patiently for the geo charts to be released for the MIT versions. Even more important will be actual butt-on-seat ride reports. We ride bikes, not numbers.
Over time, the Atlantis chainstays have gradually grown. The old flyer I have from when I bought my '03 lists 44 cm stays on sizes 47 to 56, the 45.5 cm stays on 58 to 68. The geo chart on the website for current models lists 46 cm stays on the smallest sizes and various longer ones on larger. A good product gets incremental improvements over time. Maybe we've gotten ourselves wrapped around the axle on this stay question? Rivendell has pretty darn good judgment on these things, and I think we'll be pleasantly surprised with the result. dougP On Friday, March 23, 2018 at 8:07:29 PM UTC-7, Drw wrote: > > 2 things. > I have a 2017 650b Atlantis that has somewhat longer (though still > acceptably long) stays than previous atlanti and I think it is essentially > a perfect bike.The only anxiety I have about it has to do with future > potential unavailability of parts, which has nothing to do with riv.
