Keep me posted on ride quality, I might be getting an Atlantis in my size if the stars align. I have never ridden a long base bike before so I am super curious how other feel about the updated geometry. My only fear is getting a new Atlantis and it being very un-playful, like riding a longboard, hard to maneuver but fast and comfy. I’m not an advanced rider by any means, but I still love to have a bike that can pop the occasional wheelie and pop over logs etc.

Congrats on your Atlantis! The blue is so pretty and you've done an artful job of outfitting it with lots of blue blingy parts. It's a blue-lover's canvas. Enjoy this beautiful ride!

My first bike build ended up being a Rivendell Atlantis in blue. And since I was building it up from the frame and got to pick parts, most other things in blue as well.
I
have a Clem that is my usual commuter, so I don't *need* one... but I'd wanted an Atlantis since
college... which is an embarrassingly long time ago. I finally decided
to get one last year but as fate would have it, I was traveling and
camping when they went on sale, and by the time I was back home, they
were all out of both the 50 and 53cm. I reminded myself how much like
moldy bread the Russian Submarine green looks in person, but that was
just sour grapes.Then this popped up in a comment on facebook... I
messaged the owner, asked he was serious about selling and did the deal
in a few days.
The original owner had ordered a Joe Appa but it
was damaged in shipping, and Riv didn't have a spare in his size, so
painted an Atlantis in the Appa colorway at the time apparently. Also
why it has Atlantis 2 decals.
