I'm confused because before there was any Hunqapiller or any Bomba, the Atlantis was marketed as a touring bike. Now it's only a touring bike for light riders with light loads? As a data point, I think of myself as a medium-weight rider, and I usually carry a pretty heavy load as touring loads go, yet my Atlantis has performed flawlessly in maybe ten thousand miles of touring. I'm also confused because I looked at the recommended tire size for Hunqapillars and Bombadils. The recommendation only goes up to 55 mm, which is smaller than the usual off-road tires. Say I wanted to do the Great Divide. Say I was a good bike handler, so I thought I'd be OK with no suspension. I'd still want to be riding mountain bike tires, so the Hunq or the Bomba still wouldn't work for me. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
