Could anyone who has/had both compare them? Are they significantly different

What size frames do you want to compare?
I have a 58 cm Atlantis and it's never flexy, even with +/- 40 lbs of
camping gear strapped on. Actually rides pretty smooth with that
load. I don't think I'd want anything stiffer, but I've never been on
a double TT bike.

Rene, I can see how you would be interested in an Atlantis. It seems
like all the Bombadils have exceptionally long TTs. I'd certainly go
for a 64cm Atlantis before a 60cm Bombadil if I were getting a Riv

Hi, Rene -- I have never ridden a Bombadill, much less own one. I do own a
size 61 Atlantis that I have toured fully loaded with panniers. The longest
tour was 2500 miles last summer on the ACA Western Express/Trans-Am
(Partially). I noticed no flex or weakness whatsoever with the Atlantis.
This is an interesting conversation. Every time I think about getting
an even bigger frame, end up thinking more about reach more than
standover. Based on these statements, I should be trying a 63cm
frame. Yet about a year and a half ago straddled a 62 orange
Quickbeam. The reach was so far my

had me test ride the Atlantis, I believe the 61 as well. I initially thought
When I had my Atlantis, it was not what I'd call a flexible bike. My
weight was between about 285 and 240 before I sold it. Did a couple
of S24O on the bike with probably 20 to 30 pounds of gear. No
problems with it. If it hadn't been too small (and being too intent

Rene -- I should add that I originally set my Atlantis up with Jitensha
staright bars (they're not straight at all) and thumbies. I switched that
combo out for Noodles and DT shifters, which I much prefer. In fact, I'm going
to sell the Jitensha bars soon.
That's why I have 8 cm stems on my AHH and my Bombadil. If I wanted to
run longer stems, I'd definitely need smaller frames. The issue would
then be how much vertical stem and seatpost get exposed to get the
proper heights and relationships. I could place the handlebar below
the saddle... Oh wait!

The Bombadil is definitely stiffer. That works for me because I weigh
