I didn't search much for this information, but I couldn't find it on Riv's site anyway.. It appears that nearly all of the currently available framesets are available with a double top tube in largish sizes, except Atlantis. Is there a reason for this? For instance, why would one need a double TT on an 63cm AHH, a 60cm Sam Hillborne, a 59cm San Marcos, etc. but not on a 61cm Atlantis? Are Atlantis' made with stronger tubing? If not, then I don't understand what the 2nd top tube is for in these cases. The statement is made on the Soma description that a 2TT "add(s) strength, stiffness, and reduc(es) fatigue." This seems like something you'd want on a fully loaded tourer, and not a "sporty road bike"..? Not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious - I own a 61cm Atlantis, by the way.
