Wow. Nice looking machine. These days I can't really imagine running a 52/38 on anything other than a thoroughbred racing machine (and even there, I go compact.) Also, the white tires look, as my 6-year-old is fond of saying lately, "FAN-see PAhnts!" But according to some, the lack of carbon in the white rubber compound makes for less cornering adhesion, especially in wet conditions. In terms of colors, I only have experience with Soma Terra Cotta tires and have not noticed any real difference, but I tend to be conservative when cornering in wet conditions at this point in my life.
But what a score. I am currently in the midst of converting a 1992 Trek 750 Multitrack to 26" wheels, which should give me a similar machine to an XO/Atlantis, with more clearance for fenders. Now I am tempted to strip it and paint it xo orange. Or maybe pink. Perhaps luckily, I don't have the budget, so it will likely remain Model T Black.
