Kudos to a good score! I don't care what color it's painted. You riden' the bike or riden' the paint? The Atlantis is a fine bicycle no matter the color and last time I checked mine it's steel and I can redo the hairdo if I'd like. Just the same I happen to like the paint on yours. Enjoy! Frank

You may be safe a wee bit longer, Lum Gim Fong. Winter lands from above, and at 8-10,000 feet for most of my rides, it lands early and stays late. Good news (for me) is I'm stupid enough to love it! Ear to ear grin. Kai, I think you're seeing foreground perspective seeming to enlarge the tire.

Lovely! It's still summer (and a very muggy one at that) for at least another minute or so in NYC. Can't hardly wait for the snow to fall. What's that whopper of a front tire you have on there? Looks huge, maybe lens distortion, but from that angle it looks close to 3", maybe it's the snow

Cool pics, and thanks for the demonstrations that happy biking can happen in all weather. Be careful, though. In some parts you would get ticketed for even mentioning the word "Winter" before its time. Ha ha! 49 winters is enough for me! ha ha! Our Nov-March "cold" weather is enough for me. I

I'm still in. I talked to Johnny (aka Ultra Romance) and Troy from Crust about it at French Fender Day. It sounds like some of the off road sections might require larger tires but a lot of the route will be on quiet paved roads. They're going to post three routes of varying distances later
