For anybody wanting to emulate the riding behaviors of an original Atlantis, I'd enthusiastically recommend the Black Mountain Cycles Rim Brake Monster Cross. It does everything an original Atlantis does. It takes 700c wheels in all sizes, fits 2" tires plus fenders, has traditionally short chainstays, braze-ons for everything so you can set it up as a cross bike, drop bar trail bike, commuter, loaded tourer, gravel racer, brevet bike, all the way down to a stripped down 22lb club bike. It can do everything and anything. It does not have the lugged look if you need that look. Every time Mike does a run, they all sell out quick. Get on the next run if you like good bicycles.
