Steve, Love this build!! I have appreciated Jame's details on some other builds he's done. What's the contraption that is mounted between the top tube and stem? Great choice on tires really fills out the Atlantis and the fenders look amazing! Who makes the fenders?
I have like you landed on the Quill Rims for my next build. Not a ton of wide (rim brake) rims these days that strike a balance between light weight and strength. I don't know much about the Middleburn Cranks? Maybe give us a drive side shot to see the bulk of the crank? The non-drive crank arm has some nice fluting. What's the deal with the SKF BB is it superior to the Shimano or Tange bottom brackets? Your using Shimano Trigger shifters with the Paul Love levers, how do you like the shifters? Looks like your rocking the Jones bars using a threadless stem and the nitto threaded to threadless adapter. How's the stability and the bar comfort? Do the Bitex hubs roll fast? I love the Paul Motolite brakes in fact I plan on using them again for this new build. Anyway, thanks for showing us your beauty.
