I have read the posts on this subject with interest. I have a lot of bikes, including an Atlantis, a custom randonneur, a Rambouilet and a number of vintage touring bikes. If I could only have one bike (I sincerely hope I'm never in that position), it would be the Atlantis. You can do anything on it that most people will ever want to do on a bike - fully loaded touring, fast or not so fast centuries, commuting, dirt roads and trails, you name it. My bikes are scattered throughout the hose and some are hanging on racks in various places. The Atlantis is the one parked next to the front door. GeorgeS
