"...but I this time I want it rebuilt a bit lighter with upgraded technology."
You will get plenty of input from this group but yes it would be useful to know your current baseline, and intended use of the bike. You mention long distance touring & of course that's the Atlantis forte, but there are plenty that are used for commuting, off road, etc. An excellent source of inspiration is cyclofiend's Atlantis gallery. dougP On Apr 1, 5:53 pm, "dr...@charter.net" <dr...@charter.net> wrote: > In a few days I should be getting my Atlantis frame back newly painted > from California.
