I rode the Atlantis to work today, and agree that while subtle, the differences are on the positive side. As stated, since I've been able to tweak the Atlantis to a point where I like it very much, the tweaks just enhance that.
Also, the geometry doesn't tell the whole story on its own, as far as I can tell. I've yet to compare other measurements, but here are some examples: - Atlantis with Compass Rando Bars & 6cm Pearl stem - Custom with Compass Rando Bars & 8cm Pearl stem Have yet to measure horizontal distance from saddle to brake levers and end of stem on both to compare, as well as saddle setback from the BB. I'm by no means a full expert on interpreting the geometry, but my requests to Steve Rex and also my initial fitting required that I be able to sit further back, avoid toe overlap and have the handlebar/stem "centered" to allow me to go higher or lower, as well as forward or rearward depending on the handlebars I'd choose. So for example, even though the length of the top tube is quite similar, the 0.5 degrees of slacker seat tube angle puts the stem further back than it would appear from just the numbers alone. I have to say he delivered. It's also taken me several years or riding and evolution to figure out what I wanted in a custom geometry. My biggest issue with standard bicycles is feeling as if I'm too far forward and want to keep sliding backwards to the point I'm sitting on the rear edge of the saddle, which in turn puts too much weight on my hands and makes them hurt, irrespective of how high the bars are.
