Weth: If your wife likes the color, be prepared to buy an Atlantis as soon as she rides one. My wife & I stumbled into a 47 cm Atlantis a couple of years ago. She wasn't thinking about a new bike & went along to humor me. After about 5 minutes riding around a parking lot, she returned with a big grin on her face & said "I WANT THIS BIKE!". She's not a bike nerd & thought my infatuation with Rivendell was harmless. Little did she know....
Enjoy your new ride! dougP On Thursday, April 25, 2013 4:31:15 PM UTC-7, WETH wrote: > > Matt, the frame, fork, stem, and touch up paint arrived safely today. > Thanks for a great transaction.
