Max asked: "Now, for the functional differences between Homer, Sam, and Atlantis – increasing tire size and load capacity?.. "
Homer and Sam are functionally equivalent. There's no great justification for any normal person to have a Homer and a Sam, unless you were going to execute two different builds, like drop bars on one and swept-back on the other. Atlantis is definitely more of a knockabout chassis. I could definitely see somebody setting up a Sam or a Homer as a sporty bike, plus an Atlantis as a touring/loadcarrier.
