I view this board as largely people giving their impressions based on their own experience. It's what I like about it this board.
It's an amalgamation of everyone's experience that may be helpful to some, not relevant to others. I'm not sure I detect any mansplaining on this thread (there aren't any women being patronized, or at least I hope not), merely people giving their first impressions and speculations based on little information given and trying to parlay their own experience to how it would translate to the new Atlantis. I'm enjoying the various thoughts on this thread. I'm not sure where else I would be able to find a 9 page thread about the Atlantis. I really want to buy this Atlantis, but saving up for a wedding at the moment. As for being redundant with the Appaloosa, I think the Atlantis will work better with drop bars. I couldn't use drops comfortably on the Appaloosa, even with a dirt drop bar. Hopefully, the new Atlantis is still made for touring loads as well. If the Appaloosa ends up being redundant, I would DEFINITELY be stoked for a Made in Taiwan lugged mountain mixte with the Appaloosa fork crown and head badge... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
