Tires make a difference that I would not have guessed without experiencing. On my Atlantis, my "go to" tires are Schwalbe 40 mm Marathon Supremes. Not light but not total tanks either. Changing to 38 mm Soma C lines seems way more different than the 2 mm & 100 gram per tire difference would suggest. My wife rides a 47 cm Atlantis with 1.5" Compass & loves the ride.
