Hi Ty. I will try to weigh it this weekend using my bath scale. But I’m guessing on experience that it will be right in the 25-26 pound range. That is with the saddlebag loaded with spares. Just right light for me and as I said there in my review, very noticeably lighter than my Appaloosa which

You also have to be careful of the Atlantis's vintage. The older ones have less clearance. My Atlantis from 2001 cannot accept a nominal Schwalbe 55 but can accept a nominal Schwalbe 50. But more recent Atlanti can fit a Schwalbe 55.-Original Message- From: dougP

But you ignored the bulge for 1000 miles and only fixed it when you crashed. All it takes is a second to look at a rim to see if there is damage. What good is this safety method if you don't do anything about it? Why do people like to find reasons why rim brakes are better than disc brwkes?
