Hi-
My wife is 5'3" and her PBH is 77 cm. However, one of the reasons we
are selling the bike is because it is really too small for her. She now
rides a 53 cm Heron touring and will soon ride a 53 cm Roadeo (with
Albatross bars) since her legs are relatively long. Her torso is short
and that has historically been the problem with fit for her, as the top
tubes are too long on most bikes that are the correct size for her PBH.
Even though the Atlantis was probably a size too small (a 51 cm would
have been perfect), she was and is very comfortable riding it. We used
a technomic stem and 350 mm seatpost to make adjustments easy.
Hope this answers your question. My miniature wife loved the bike and I
suspect yours would too.

Hi Mr. Way -
I also have a miniature wife (freakishly so compared to my 6'4"). Her
legs are pretty short for the rest of her. Not to get too personal,
but what is your wife's PBH? And general proportions?
Thanks!

Hi-
Debbie's new Roadeo is about to arrive so we'd like to sell her 47
cm Atlantis. This bike has about 4500 mostly road miles on it. It
was purchased new from Campus Cycles in Denver, CO in the fall of
2003. The bike has a mountain bikey build with Shimano XT
components and a Dura Ace 11-23 cassette. The combination of the
mountain crank (22-32-44 chainrings) and road cassette gives a gear
ratio range of 23 to 98 gear inches. The 26 inch (559 mm ISO)
wheels have Mavic 517 rims, DT 14-15 butted spokes, and XT hubs.

We'd like $1600 for the complete bike including shipping to the
lower 48 WITHOUT the Brooks saddle and pedals. If you really want
the saddle and pedals, let's negotiate something. If you pick up
the bike, the price is $1500.
Let us know if you'd like more pictures and/or additional
information about the bike.
Thanks,
Doug Way
