i have a 559-wheeled Sycip "Java Boy", and it wasn't really by design, rather by default. back when Bridgestone was selling X0-1s for blow-out prices, i snagged an orange (and too small, i'm afraid) X0-1. when i finally decided to let go of the frame (it's being used daily by a commuter in Seattle), i went to my then LBS to order a 'replacement' frame for the 'leftover' bits of my XO-1. the shop ended up ordering for me a 26" wheeled version of the Java Boy, and though i didn't realize it at the time, it's something of an Atlantis-style bike. it's a 56 with a 58.2 top tube and i run Vredestein 1.3 tires on it and albatross bars. it uses cantilevers, has a front and back rack and fenders. i suppose i could do loaded touring with. when i ride it to work, one of my staffers calls it the station wagon. he means that in the best sense. <G> if anyone cares too see it, it's listed on my flickr page (m6hm is my name). i have replaced the tires AND the fenders since taking that photo. still using the same style fenders, but they're slimmer. they're STILL not right, though, and i would like to get some fenders that fit (or at least figure out how to do make these fit better). -kim
