David, something tells me you are right! But you know, it doesn't look bad on there at all. Some say suspension forks don't go with lugged frames, but that's about like that nun telling us in 3rd grade that "Blue and green clash. They are screaming at one another!" at which point she wadded up some devastated little girl's art paper and threw it in the trash. But *ahem* I digress. Sorry. Are fresh elastomers available for those old forks? I thought they got hard with age. Anyway, as tall as a stock Atlantis fork is, I doubt that fork changed the handling much. Something with more than 1.5" of travel of course would.
Coils & oil for me. But my Atlantis is still unsprung.
