I have a 61 Sam and ordered a 62 Atlantis two weeks ago. I am curious on
the ride differences as well. My buddy that owns an Atlantis swears by the
bike and I am building out the bike in a similar fashion as the Sam except
for 700/36 XT/Atlas wheels by Rich and a quill stem mount shifter to try
i have the new MIT atlantis and it's a joy to pedal despite not being the
fastest bike out there. i had a sam which was slightly svelter/faster but
still not the zippiest bike. i got the atlantis cause i wanted a riv all
arounder/MTB more than i wanted a "light touring" bike like the sam. if
Steve, I totally agree about keeping your Toyo AHH. I had one many years ago
and sold it when they weren't the rare pieces they are today. Who knew?? I wish
I had that one back.

JP,
I've been meaning to add my two cents to this thread and hopefully be
helpful to you. I own a Toyo (2007) A. Homer Hilsen (59 cm) and an MIT
Atlantis (55 cm). I've taken the time to ride both in the last week in an
effort to appreciate/zero in on the differences. Before talking about
What size Atlantis did you go with?

I feel like I am particularly qualified to comment on this thread. I
currently own and ride regularly a 63cm MUSA homer (2011) a doubleTT 60cm
MIT Sam (2013) and a 58cm appa (2018).
Very different and very similar bikes all at the same time. The set up and
parts choice effects how 'heavy' they
Thanks! yes I did convert between the old chart and the new. Good to know
it’s not going to be sufficiently noticeable to worry!

JP:
If the Atlantis, Homer or Sam were all set-up the same as far as racks,
bags, gear, etc., none should feel any heavier than the others. Since
you're in Rivendell's back yard, they can advise you on appropriate
gearing. They typically use wide range cassettes (e.g., 11-34 & 12-36) so
Nice thanks! Just having a bike that fits me at 6'2", that doesn't
require me to stand on my head, and has friction shifting is a miracle.

JP,
My two ridable Rivs are opposites on the Riv spectrum. The svelt Quickbeam
as a fixed gear cross bike and Gus Boots Willsen as an MTB all ways hauler.
Do they feel different to ride? Absolutely. The reality is, however, that
for all that, they arrive to the same spot on the same trail
