My Atlantis has a much softer, more cushy ride with 20-30 lbs of weight. The cost is slower acceleration & generally more effort.
OTH, I've ridden the long wheelbase Atlantis & even unloaded it rides noticeably softer than my 2003. The longer chainstays probably account for that. dougP On Saturday, January 9, 2021 at 3:37:33 PM UTC-8 Jim Whorton wrote: > I have a 59cm Clem H that is a little too big for me (I am 6' 1", 89 > PBH).
