I know that every person must make up their own minds about such things, but I have to throw in here that I've seen several standard-colored Atlantises/Atlanti(?) in the wild in full touring mode, and they are spectacular looking. I have a great stable of bikes right now, which fit my current needs. However, there are two bikes that keep calling my name. One of them is a 26-inch wheeled Atlantis in the sea-foamy blueish green, outfitted as a camper. I love the notion of riding up the West Coast on such a set-up, or, crawling up some pass into the Sierras.
Sizing is easy compared to color selection--good luck with it! :) Best, Lee SF, CA On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Khalid Mateen <[email protected]> wrote: > I just spoke to John about the size for the Atlantis.
