[RBW] Re: 47 cm Atlantis finds new home
Doug, congrats on the good deal, i saw this on CL for months and figured it wasn't moving due to the size, glad someone got it who could appreciate it.

[RBW] Re: 47 cm Atlantis finds new home
I almost bought this bike just cause the price seemed soo right. It would have been a bit small for my wife, I would have just flipped the frame and bought a correct sized one. Glad I held off cause seems like it worked out perfect for you. It was crazy that it was on CL for so long at that crazy price. Everytime she posted it I had to hold back from emailing her and setting up the buy. Will -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: 47 cm Atlantis finds new home
It must have been the size that kept it from selling. My wife is 5'-2 but has short legs. Even with the tiny tires she doesn't have a lot of clearance. Next to my 58 her bike looks like a toy. OTH, it'll be a heck of a lot easier to pack up ship for a tour! James Black had a silver Tubus Fly on his Nishiki at our last So Cal Riv ride. I'm thinking that rack would look way cool on the mini- lantis. dougP On Nov 22, 7:31 pm, williwoods willh...@yahoo.com wrote: I almost bought this bike just cause the price seemed soo right.

It's a great rack, but watch the tire clearance if you want to go with fatties and fenders - mine just barely fits over the 50mm-wide fenders. Clearance should be better with 26 wheels.

[RBW] Re: 47 cm Atlantis finds new home
SCORE indeed!!! Some times the price is just right... and that size is hard to find... But you know, Doug... This was no accident... there was a REASON you got this bike... I hope we'll see pictures of you and your wife out on your Atlanti...
