Max - if you've been yearning for an Atlantis, you probably won't *regret* getting one. I think it will feel like an upgrade over an 80s mtb conversion, mostly in the advantage of a longer head tube and sloping top tube making it easier to get the bars to a comfortable position. I do think a lot of the other bikes in Riv's lineup are also worth a look as others have mentioned. I own the current-gen Atlantis and it's very capable, but it's also almost identical to the Appaloosa, and both are on the more stout/cargo-capable side of the lineup. They also might not have any new frames in stock any time soon. A clem could be a very cool all-rounder, the platypus has some kind of magical, irrational appeal that exceeds the sum of its parts, the sam and homer are also worth a look. Happy to answer any questions about my Atlantis if you have them. On Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 11:56:38 AM UTC-7 brok...@gmail.com wrote:
