[RBW] Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?
Glad you asked, as I am on the same quest with a 60cm Sam, now redundant in upright trim to a mystery bike.

Re: [RBW] Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?
I have a 10 cm DD and 46 noodles on my 56 Samuel Hillborne. I have the stem raised about an inch, which puts the bars exiting the stem about an inch above the nose of my saddle. I I was supposed to get an 8 cm stem, there was a mixup, but in retrospect the 10 is more aesthetically pleasing to me as the 8 has this step below the extension while the 10 has no transition. I ride with TRP levers, interrupters and silver bar ends and I still probably have 5 different hand positions. This is my favorite and most versatile setup. If I didn't like the ergonomics of the TRPs so much I'd try Gevanelles and lose the bar ends which are level with my TT. If this is Eric in Chicago, who I see at the Patagonia store in the winter, feel free to reach out to me to check it out. I have an extra set of 46 cm noodles too.

Re: [RBW] Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?
I've been trying to find the right bar/stem combo since I bought a 56 Atlantis months ago. Recently I tried an 8cm dirt drop plus Grand Bois Randonneur bars and it seems just right for me. As others have said, you shouldn't have any qualms about putting a dirt drop on an Atlantis (or any bike for that matter). It's a great stem. Here's a pic. No bar tape yet, but that's because I'm afraid of commitment. https://flic.kr/p/uUrjow The angle of the photo makes the bars look higher than they are. They are slightly above or even with saddle height and super comfortable (on short test rides so far - excited to try it on an extended ride soon!). Good luck!

Re: [RBW] Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?
I've never drop-bar'd an Atlantis, but I've drop-bar'd many other bikes typically not drop-bar'd, and the DD stem is a wonderful instrument for that end. My favorite (he repeated hisself endlessly) was the very early '90s DB Axis Team with the head cut off almost flush with the tt. After conferring with Riv, I bought a 10 cm DD stem to hold the 46 cm Noodle, and the ride, despite my predilection for a shoved-back saddle and the (by road bike standards) unnaturally long top tube, the DD got the bar in a very comfortable place with at least 4" of quill to spare. Remember that, as you raise the bar, it comes back at you. The final setup was quite comfortable-- and note again: there was much quill to spare. IMO, the Atlantis is a natural for a drop bar -- go for it!

[RBW] Dirt Drop stem with Atlantis?
My Atlantis came with that set up. I don't think there is anything wrong with the pairing, especially if you want the bars up and back. I think it especially helps if you like to use the drops without being so deep on the bike. Some would see it as an odd aesthetic, but I like the DD with about any bar. I'd say it's necessary with moustache. In the end, if it allows you get comfortable on the bike with a bar you prefer it's all good. Personally I could never get comfortable with noodles regardless of stem. My issues were with the shape of the bar not the position. One thing that also was an issue was the cable routing done by the PO. They ran the barend cables under the wrap along with the brake cables and made the shifting super sluggish. I ended up swapping to an albatross set up that I really like. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
