Yeah, 46cm chainstays on the 26 Atlantis would bring it in line with the 26
Hunqapillar and 26 Surly LHT. I did read on this site that 700c chainstays
are now 47-48cm, so I guess it would make sense to lengthen the 26 models as
well.

I thought I had read somewhere that Riv might have lengthened the chainstays on
the newer Atlantis frames. If I am measuring right, mine are 46cm on a size
56cm 26 wheeled frame (center of BB to center of rear dropout). The 2010
geometry table on the website lists 44cm on the 26 frames.
