Honestly, I don't get conversions like this. Canti posts add complication to any conversion so that's one issue. Also, the original intent of 650b conversions of road bikes was to add fat tire and fender versatility to an otherwise limited 700c-equipped bike, ie a low clearance, high BB racy/crit bike--trying to add versatility to a bike as versatile as the Atlantis seems an exercise in futility. And messing about with something so perfectly suited to its intent and function, and designed by GP to boot seems almost sacrilege.
There are plenty of bikes out there that can be improved by a conversion like this, but the Atlantis doesn't seem like one of them to me. What's that old saw about just because you can does not mean you should...? Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
