When I had my Atlantis, it was not what I'd call a flexible bike. My weight was between about 285 and 240 before I sold it. Did a couple of S24O on the bike with probably 20 to 30 pounds of gear. No problems with it. If it hadn't been too small (and being too intent on a Hunqapillar) would not have sold it.
