Looks like the AR is sold as it has disappeared. To continue our sizing discussion here is my 56 Rambouillet. As you can see even with the same size frame and upslope, the shorter fork on the Atlantis makes the head tube much longer.

I think it's the skinny tires creating the illusion that those are 700c wheels, which makes the frameset look huge. Or maybe the skinny tires create the illusion because we are used to seeing the 56 Atlantis with fatter tires. The overall proportions are very similar to a 56cm Atlantis, a

Judging from the space between the top tube and the down tube at the head tube, I would have guessed this to be a bigger frame. It could be that the combination of extended head tube and 26" wheels contributes to the illusion. I guess really hard to tell from photos, but here is an Atlantis

I believe you can use a drive-side spacer on that BB, and if you only need 1-2mm to solve the clearance problem, it's a minor affect on the chainline. On Friday, September 15, 2017 at 5:50:24 PM UTC-5, lum gim fong wrote: > > ... > It has a Shimano UN55-110 bottom bracket. > -- You received
