This thread has probably run its course, but Khaleed, if you'd like to ride a 61cm Atlantis, I've got one in Wilmington, DE. I'll be out of the country till later this month, but you're welcome to ride it (or my 60cm Quickbeam, or 61cm Homer) whenever you like once I get back.

I'm the other way. They recommended a 61, I went with a 58, probably shoulda gone with the 61. But I've made it work and I still think I'll rip the fenders I have on it off sometime soon and put fat franks on there and see how much clearance I end up with, then :) I have a 61 rom and it feels like it fits better to me. Khalid, I'm in durham, NC and if you want to try out something around a 58cm atlantis you're welcome to come borrow mine. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
