Anyone have a 27.0 Thomson zero offset seatpost they'd be willing to sell
and ship to me in Seattle? Need something for my old Centurion tourer - to
bring my aging self just a little closer to the handlebars... ;-/

I should do that. He's out near where I grew up. That would give me an excuse
to ogle some nice frames as well.

Clayton, I'd probably need the zero offset stem to fit noodles on the
current 59 Atlantis. Obviously, the 70 degree head angle can get the bars a
lot closer, but only by having the bars much higher than I want). Yes, it
could be done for me, but only just. The 55 Atlantis, with its 59cm top

Last year I took a Bruce Gordon frame into Joe Bell’s shop and he had it cold

for $100 and a six pack (or was it a case?). I wouldn’t want to fight your
frame forever.

Eamon,
What stem length and which upright bars would you run on the 59 Atlantis?
What top tube length and stem length would you need on an Atlantis to run

The analog stem is no joke. I run a 30mm one on a MUSA Atlantis that fits me
like a glove and fit me like a glove before the short stem. It has improved
comfort, and handling especially off road. It’s definitely stiffer than a
longish technomic, so maybe that’s the handling improvement I feel.
Clayton, most people I know, if changing from drops to upright bars on the same
bike, would use a longer stem for the uprights. That’s not an emotional
decision. For myself, if on a 59 Atlantis with its 64cm top tube, I’m not
running anything but upright bars on it. I bet it’s great too, but
$1,400 - any interest???

Hi Patrick,
This will all sound a little vague and I am likely not describing it
perfectly but here it goes:
To answer the question about how handling changes with shorter stem:
Personally I don't think it affects handling much *as long as it works
within the overall bike bike/rider system*.
For a traditional road bike, such a short stem might be strange but for a
more all-road or all-terrain style bike, I think the long TT / short stem
combo is great because it gets the front wheel further out in front of you
for better stability / less chance of endo, reduces or eliminates toe
How do such short stems affect the handling of the Atlantis? I use stems on
my Riv Roads that are short by conventional standards -- 8 cm, and I
absolutely insist on drop bars with sufficiently long ramps (but
short-hooded Shimano aero levers and not the very long brifter levers), and
insist on a

Most I've used (lots) have varying degrees of wiggliness in them. I used to
worry about it until I realized I only noticed it at home fiddling with the
bike; while riding they just shift and away I go!

It is nice that stems and seatposts are now available to make so many
bike frames work for a variety of riders with the huge variety of
handlebars out there. I haven't done it yet but I'd like to try Drops
on my old 1989 Miyata MTB. Maybe I'll become a convert of longer top
tube shorter stem
Just to be clear, I am not advocating reversing stems, what I am getting at
is more along the lines of a 30-50mm stem vs. a 100-120mm stem.

There are benefits to one-size-fits all bicycles like Bromptons. I
suppose there are benefits to reversing your 8cm stem and running a
16cm longer top tube, but I think I prefer the benefits of a bike that
actually fits.

A few thoughts:
- Agree to keep the Hillborne as is. Keep cantis too. Just to have some
diversity in the line up.
- Short stem and drops: Personally I don't see it as "making it work".
There are even benefits to it: longer wheelbase is possible, less TCO or
similar TCO but with bigger tires
I've been meaning to post mine but was waiting for the final parts to come in. Right now I'm just waiting on lights for the SON hub. I am very happy with the way the bike rides. I haven't had chance to get it on the dirt but I bought the frame with dirt rides in mind. Hopefully some off-road
I have to think those ZTTO 8 spd wide range cassettes (paired with a
Shimano 8spd derailleur and chain, drop link if necessary to get the
derailleur up onto that big cog, and friction shifter) is the ideal
scenario - and cheap, to boot! I think that's the route I'll go when I
eventually wear

I also use the IRD Drilliums on my Noodles and like them a lot. They have a

for the larger sized wheels.
