There are lots of good builders out there -- and getting a custom is always a neat idea. Many builders have their own ideas about how a bike should be built -- sometimes some will build whatever a customer wants -- or thinks they want -- all ok.
No offense to Belopsky, but in this case I feel this is request a bit off -- presumably you really like what Riv has done with the Atlantis -- and who can blame you -- it is a great bike, and I love mine. It has in part been responsible for the greater availability of versatile bikes. I think asking folks on a Riv list to give you exact dimensions so you can have someone make you a cheaper copy does a disservice to both Riv and the builder. If you really love the Atlantis, save your pennies and buy one from them, or wait to find a used one -- reward Grant and Riv for what they've done in creating something you want. If you want something similar for less, let your discount framebuilder spec it out.
