I agree with Will that the Atlantis is a splendid bike. I waited patiently for a 58 frame and fork and eventually it came.
I love it a lot, and have found only two imperfections. 1. I use it sometimes as a trail bike. With 700x45s plus fenders (which fit great), there is substantial TCO (toe clip overlap) which is a bit bothersome on a trail bike. You solve TCO with smaller diameter wheels, like 650B, or more fork rake, like the low trail folks prefer, or a longer TT, which many Riv-haters already wail about. I'm a crank arm 2. I wish my Atlantis had the newer dual-eyelet fork tips. Mine only has the lower one. I sometimes think about grabbing an unpainted Hunqafork ( LINK <http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/f3.htm>) just to have, for the even wider tire clearance, and the for tips, and for the lowrider braze ons, but haven't jumped on that yet.
