Ok so a totally not off topic question, what tubing does the Cheviot have.
More Sam or homer? Anyone ride all 3?

The most noticeable difference I can see is that the Atlantis has fancier
lugs. If it's also marginally lighter and I didn't need the extra
stoutness, I would certainly pay and extra 300 for those qualities.

I recently had a discussion with an experienced frame builder and it came
up that tubing diameter has a bigger effect than the thickness or thinness
of the tubes; at least with common wall thicknesses. Apparently there are
online calculators that show flex characteristics of a tube and this is

Hey I rode a bombadil, it was nice and stiff for a heavy dude. Never felt
flex even with kiddo on it.

I'm curious if it's stiffer. My Atlantis has such thick tubing I can't feel

I've had my Atlantis for about half a year now and am loving it. I usually
run it with 2.1 WTB Nano's, and feel like I could probably get 2.2's in
there actually. Most of the riding I've been doing is on trails, back
roads, across fields, over the snow, etc. AKA, not pavement. I don't have
