I have a 58 Rambouilet and a 57 Bleriot. They are both exceptionally comfortable bikes. My pbh is 85. Grant encouraged me to go with the 59 Bleriot, but the 57 was just to comfortable to pass up. From the piecemeal information you gave, my guess is that a 57 Saluki should fit you fine and probably a hair better than your Atlantis. Chris
