I have an 84cm PBH and ride a 54cm Hunq and a 56cm Atlantis. They both fit me perfectly, and I suspect the 58cm Atlantis would feel too big, more for TT length than standover. But, hey, a dirt drop or other short stem and maybe you're in business. I tour on the Hunq. It's all Nitto. I've used Tubus racks in the past and they work fine, too, but they just don't look right on a Rivendell to me. Many tours, many miles on the Nitto racks and no regrets.
Something to consider: How long is the wait for an Atlantis vs. a Hunqapillar? That can often be a factor! Hard to go wrong either way, IMHO. Good luck.
