Hello Hugh and Andrew, I thought I might chime in here because I was one of the previous owners of the grey Atlantis. The original owner, the Brand Manager of a certain well-known MPLS bike brand named Surly, had it powder coated sometime before 2017. He retained the two-toned paint scheme with a cream head tube, but went with a darkish grey with a hint of metallic flake in it for the rest of the frame. It is a great color for the bike, and I'm so happy to see Andrew's build photos of it since it left my stable!!! -Gabe
