Semi-related. I've been riding a 58cm Appaloosa for a couple of weeks now (and a 55 for a few weeks before that).
All I can add is that from your ride report, the catalog is correct. You're description of handling and "cush" with the LWB Atalantis is remarkably similar to my experience riding the Appaloosas over mixed terrain since early May. The one thing I will add is that I find myself sitting and spinning up hills more with my Appaloosa more than I do on shorter wheel base bikes - but that's a non-scientific observation. Perhaps it's a result of the overall balance of the longer bike, maybe it's something else, but it's simply something I've noticed. For those with concerns about LWB bikes...I'm not finding anything to be concerned about. The plush ride is delightful, and I have yet to find any drawback when compared to my SWB bikes (or even my MWB bikes).
