Hello all and Happy Holidays! As part of my ongoing journey with life and cycling and other stuff, the next step in downsizing has arrived. The short story is that I'm going to put my custom fork low-trail 61cm Atlantis (custom painted) for sale. I know the odds of selling it complete are very low, but nevertheless, if anyone is interested in making any offers, please e-mail me privately. Most likely, it will be disassembled to sell as frame + fork + headset + any additional parts the buyer wants, since most people in this list have tons of parts and want to build the bike to their specs. Still, there may be someone who says "I was just looking for something like this for my ____ and this was meant to come my way"... :-)
Photos of the complete bike are here: http://alturl.com/apw7q I've made some minor changes since these photos were taken and will upload the most recent photos with the Chocomoose bars and a Brooks saddle. Here are the details of the complete build: - 61 cm custom painted (original color + downtube panel & decal with low trail fork (I'll include the original fork as well, although the paint looks different) - 700c 36 spoked polished Atlas rims with rear White Industries MI-5 hub and front Sondelux Widebody Dynamo hub with 700x38 Compass Barlow Pass tires. - 10 speed drivetrain with the René Herse triple crankset, 24/38/46 and 11/36 cassette, and Shimano 10 sp XT chain - Campagnolo FD - Shimano XT long cage RD - Shimano 10 speed downtube shifters - Smooth Honjo fenders - King bottle cages - Nitto S83 seatpost (not the lugged seatpost shown on some of the photos) - Brooks Cambium C17 saddle - Choco Moose handlebar - Shimano brake levers (not the Paul's shown on the images) - F/R Paul polished Touring Cantilever brakes - Front Nitto Campee 27F low rider pannier rack - Rear Nitto Campee 27F pannier rack - Edelux 2 polished front light The main reason for my decision is that after I got my Steve Rex Custom, this bike truly fits me wonderfully and has exceeded all my expectations in terms of fit, comfort, feeling one with the bike, etc. There is a ton of overlap between my custom and my Atlantis, which actually was instrumental in helping me understand how I wanted my bike to fit me and feel when riding it. I've also been moving lately to downsize and reduce clutter, and having so many bikes (for me) is one of the areas that I strongly feel I need to address. I don't want to have a wonderful bike just hanging from a rack because I don't ride it but am too egotistical to let go so it can do for someone else what it did for me. And, I'd still have the Homer, the Cheviot, and the Hubbuhubbuh around to deal with. Plus my Bike Friday Lama to take when traveling and my carbon Santa Cruz Tallboy LT for MTB, which I haven't done in several years... so plenty of opportunity to keep what I need and let go what I don't need. Anyway, if anyone is interested in the whole bike or parts, please e-mail me privately. I'm in no rush, but want to actually take the next steps. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and again, Happy Holidays in case I'm missing any other!!!
