If I had the extra cash to get an XO-1 in fantastic shape that I could use 
as a display piece in the house only I would do so. Getting one for riding 
in comparison to a Riv? I would take the Riv every single time.

Nope.

The slope of resistance to to really letting yourself ride and enjoy an 
XO-1 as Grant designed and intended is steep. Considering this trade 
communicates that you objectify the XO-1, as many do. I had a '93 XO-2 (the 
purple Dirt Drop bar one) and found it a pioneering design idea but easily 
outdone by my 2002 Rambouillet, also by Toyo. The focus Rivendell allowed 
Grant to give the Atlantis and Rambouillet exceeded what could be done in 
the Bridgestone business model considering the production nature of those 
bikes, even the rare halo models (had a '91 MB-0 too). 

Good conversation a while back either here or on iBOB about production 
lugged construction (realtive to the MB-series) with input from Mark B. 
about the copper brazing head tube and lugs made as a component for the 
main triangle build was a good example how the finished frame looks like a 
hand built item but incorporates definitely mass production process.

I prefer my bikes dusty from miles on unpaved roads, not storing them. Keep 
and ride the Atlantis.

You are correct, if you really want a perfect XO-1 that's not going to 
happen too many more times, we're 29-30 years out from them now. You can 
always find another Riv if you want one later, grab that XO.

Do you want an iconic bike? A touring bike? A Rivendell? An all rounder?

I’d pick the Atlantis. XO-1s are cool for what they were, but the idea has 
evolved into something better, IMO.

it's an iconic bike. But honestly, I think the 2000 Toyo Atlantis is a 
better-made , more versatile bike as Nikko points out. They're not 
interchangeable and if you're doing any touring , the Atlantis is a 
hands-down winner

I’d keep the Atlantis. 

Mounts on the fork, better paint, and it’s Grant’s take on a better version 
of the XO-1.
