Tom, that is a great looking frame. It does not surprise me that you love it
and find the ride closer to perfect than anything else. Good luck with the
selling of your Atlantis frame and fork. I would grab it immediately if it was

That would be the recommended frame size for me but I'm always curious as

Chris, if you're ever in the market for one, this is the place to find one.
I've started commuting on my Simpleone and I do really enjoy it. A lot. But
I may sell it someday if I feel like I need to thin the herd out and

That's fine, Perry. I'm not here to convince you. But there is so much
