Hi Matt, I have a 53 Rivendell All Rounder with 26inch wheels, which is like an Atlantis, and a 54 650B Saluki. I like both. The Saluki feels taller and steadier and lighter. The All Rounder feels more sluggish but quick in the turns, and stronger and takes wider tires with fenders. Lately I have been commuting with the All Rounder because there is a steep road with lots of potholes, patches, and speed bumps. I have taken the Saluki on long trips on the GAP trail and the C&O Canal; It has racks and lots of bottle cages and it is perfect for those trips. One thing: get the right size, because I bought one of the first Salukies in a size 50 and even though I rode it comfortably for two years, I eventually traded for the 54 which fit me much better. Hope you find your size. Ken
