For my 'road bike', I love my Rambouillet as it is. I'm not a little fella; although I'm trying to get some weight off, I'm still hanging around 235, 6' tall... if I can get down to 200 I'll be better off, but still not a light weight. So when I started thinking about an Atlantis to replace my old Nishiki MTB for more rigorous use than the Rambouillet, I was ready to jump, but then noticed the Bombadil. Aside from liking the 650B aspect, I liked the 2TT on it, it was what sold me on it. (Actually, when the Hillborne gained the 2TT, I was almost resentful of it, wished the 2TT was just for the AHH and the Bombadil, so you could more quickly tell them from the Hillborne.)
But, then, when the Bombabil changed to the diaga-tube (a mixte with a top-tube), that to me made even more sense. If you're 240 on a heavy week, and then have camping gear loaded onto it for a weekend or a week-long trip, it seemed as though the diagonal just can't hurt. And, it's not like it's not been done before: http://vintagebicycle.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/fit1490.jpg Reminds me of a silver Bombadil frame that's been posted here before.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
