@Kelly: Interesting...maybe a lot of tour bikes aren't as over-built as commonly assumed. The only other bike I've toured on was a converted racing bike (obviously inadequate), with the same noodly feel you describe. On tour, one tends to see lots of converted MTBs. Personally not a fan of the 2TT look but if you can load a big Bomba down with 80 lbs of gear & have a solid ride, it sounds like the second tube is seriously functional. Should load the Atlantis down to see where it becomes noodly.
