Hey Folks,
I've enjoyed my Clem over the past 2 years, but have always had a nagging
desire for an Atlantis or Apaloosa, partly for the differing ride
characteristics, but also cause lugs and that creamy blue-green :). I
finally realized that one of the updates in the 2020 Atlantis was a switch
of tire size from 26" to 650b in the 50cm size. Combined with my missing
the latest round of Apaloosas (0 for 2!) Inow see an openning to doing a
parts switch from my current 52 Clem H to a 50 cm Atlantis and wanted to
pull from the collective experience of the group. I have a few questions
for folks:
1. Is the Atlantis more of a hillibike or a country bike? I imagine
Hilibike thanks to the now 2.4" tire clearance and how most folks have set
theirs up.
- Bill's Atlantis and another more recent build post come to mind
2. For folks who've run a 2" tire on the atlantis, have you noticed any
weird pedal strike or standover issues since the bike is designed for
larger tires
3. What are some of the more unique aspects of the Atlantis that you
enjoy or despise?
4. Seatpost size on the 50cm model? Assuming 26.8 but I can't find any
documentation
5. Is the Atlantis easy to maneuver around the train, apartment,
stairwell, etc. or is it still a big bike?
Any other thoughts/differences? I am curious to hear the groups overall
impressions of the Atlantis, especially for those who have switched between
a few of the Rivendell models.
I'm planning to still keep the Atlantis on the hillibike side of the
spectrum and hopefully use it to explore the sierra foothills this summer
(or next, if California stays on the current trajectory)
Thanks all,
Collin in Sacramento
