Erik: We have some listmembers who have one of each, so hopefully they'll chime in. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Atlantis but it sounds like you came thru OK. I have an Atlantis and love it for touring but don't do any performance riding so not sure how it would do as a brevet bike. Mine would certainly need to go on a diet and get a sportier wheelset. Rivendell has said the Atlantis f&f generally weigh about a pound more than a comparably sized more sporting model back in the Ram & Saluki days. Probably still true for Homer, but it would be interesting to hear from the voices of experience.
