Ah dangit, I think I said that backwards. Shorter version: the original Atlantis was designed with drop/moustaches bars in mind, the size you need depends a lot on which types of bars you run. Pullbacks like Bosco or Billie? Go big! On Monday, August 15, 2022 at 12:46:45 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard

Quickbeam remains my favorite model name and I didn't even know at the time it was a Tolkien reference. I was at Riv looking at the original prototype and mentioned to Mark Abele that I loved the tree on the headbadge, he told me Quickbeam is an Ent. A talking tree! Love it. On Sunday, August

I would quibble a bit with the Cheviot and Platypus being pegged as 'around town bikes', I think the droptube mixte style tags them (and my custom) that way unfairly and probably always will. I owned a Cheviot and rode a prototype Platy, they both felt like what my brain understands as a lugged

It's basically the same, just a little stiffer. The L has a smidge of flex in the frame that shows up if you load a bunch of weight on it (some folks I've mentioned this to say they don't notice it, YRMV). Grab that H, it's a good frame! On Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at 9:02:34 AM UTC-7
