I'll add to the chorus: I think a 56 will be too short for you. Get at least a 58. I'm just shy of 5' 10" with an 84cm PBH and 74cm saddle height. I have a 56cm Atlantis, it's a great bike but sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off with a 58. You're longer than I am, so I don't think a 56

Re: [RBW] 56cm or 58cm Atlantis

The 56cm uses 26" wheels while the 58cm uses 700c. The bigger wheel bike has a more stable ride because of this. Back when I bought mine fat 700c were uncommon and I wanted to be able to use a 2" tire so I wanted to have a 26" wheel touring bike. Nowadays, there are lots of choices in both

I have bolt-on RAIDs on my Kogswell P/R. The back brake does squeal sometimes. To fix, I squirt the rim with water from a water bottle, then go ride a bit with the brake on. I believe what's happening is oil or something like it (handling the rim changing a flat tire will induce it for

Tim, sorry to hear that your Compass brakes are squealing so much. We are trying to figure out why they are totally silent on most bikes after a short break-in, but squeal persistently on a very small number of bikes. We have a few hypotheses that we are testing. It's a bit hard, since none of

Re: [RBW] Re: 56cm or 58cm Atlantis

Just another data point: I'm 5'10"-ish, 90-ish PBH, and I ride a 61 Atlantis. This gives me a fistful of seatpost, and I run Albastache bars on a shorter stem (50cm?). I'm pretty comfortable on this, but could probably do a 58 just as well. I think there is only 0.5cm difference in top-tube

[RBW] Best advice for securing bikes in a garage

Hi Justin, I didn't catch what kind of car door you have, but if it's the only entry, maybe you could secure the bikes (and the other contents) by locking down the door. The floor lug idea sounds promising; maybe apply that to the door and be done with it. One item to lock (or lock two doors to

Just from my experience you should be on a 58 or 60cm Atlantis. I am ~2inches shorter, with a saddle height around 73cm (with 170mm cranks) and was fitted to a 58cm Atlantis once at Riv. It rode BIG but I could have made it work if need be. I would definitely see if there's some Atlantii to
