Pretty sure Bob Brown moved to Wisconsin, although he is still building bikes.
As to being "disloyal" will be painted guilty. Sold my Atlantis, which was too small, and almost sold my Hillborne. Both in cases of "want". Purchased a Surly Cross Check this year because I wanted a bike that could be either multi-geared or single speed for commuting, riding around, mood, whatever. Thing is, that particular model of bicycle just works for my riding style. Shorter chainstays? higher bottom bracket? who knows, but it goes where I want to and doesn't seem to mind what I've done to it. Should also be a fine winter bike. The other replacement is a Surly LHT in 58cm with 26" wheels. Liked Grant's idea of an old mountain bike for general or even touring use, but really wanted something similar to the Atlantis. And for winter it easily handles 1.75" wide studded tires. Yes, the Atlantis could have, but not sure I'da been comfortable with it in that role. And now that the Surly is in single speed mode, am starting to get a serious case of the Iwants for a SimpleOne. Just have to figure out how to pay for it to make it happen.
