Seems to me Jim Thill posted a while ago that the new Atlantis chainstays were pretty long. Enough so a 970 chain was just barely able to get around a similar setup. To Esteban - nice setup. Never have tried a low panniers. Don't have a rack equipped for it. It looks nice on your Protovelo. Afraid the bags would pick up too much grime here in Minnesota. Especially in the non-summer months. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN
