Re: [RBW] Re: PSA 53cm atlantis on ebay - $800

[R Shannon]

Hi Shoji:

Thank you for your insight on the RTPs. Your riding is identical to mine. After 
I sent my e-mail I realized the RTPs could raise my saddle to an uncomfortable 
height. As much as I'd like to try these tires the saddle height and reduced 
standover gives me pause.

Widest tire I've run to date is the Compass 1.75 on Synergy rims. A short lived 
650b experiment was a no go for the reasons mentioned above.

Thanks again for your time and feedback!

Best regards,
Richard

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Rich,
I have RTP on my Hunqapillar. Front is mounted on Atlas, Rear is mounted on 
Aeroheat. They measure ~50 - 52mm at 20 - 30 psi (f/r) for my 160# + 
bike+gear. It's mainly used as a Boston-area commuter on streets and dirt 
paths. 

They are noticeably faster than Big Bens, which I liked a lot. Finding the 
right pressure was a problem initially. When pressure is low, the tires can 
be squirmy. I also had a few pinch flats in trying to get the right 
pressure.

I've since used latex tubes. I like them for the speed and quality of ride. 
I think they are less prone to pinch flats, but that's anecdotal.

I would recommend giving them a try, particularly if you ride mainly road 
or hard dirt. 

Tailwinds,
Shoji
Arlington MA

You should be jealous. That's one of the best bicycles ever made. And it

I think 700 was fair. Yeah it could use a coat of paint, but 53s don't seem to 
come up very often, especially as frame/fork only. She's gonna love it.

Thanks y'all for the nice words. I know Norah will love it. Esp. since I 
just ordered some new rat trap pass!!. I don't think it's too horrible 
cosmetically, but in the future I'll probably have it repainted. No biggie. 
I got it for $700, not cheap but not like buying a new atlantis!!

I have one of these 53s. You and GF will not be disappointed. It's a really 
nice frame, and built right, is a very serious ride. 

You might consider sending down to:

https://www.groodybros.com/why-groody

or similar, to have some cosmetic work done before working out the build. 

It will take P65 fenders. You can put the fattest, cushiest tires 
imagineable on it (and it will still be a high performance bike, not a 
cruiser).
