I hope I'm still riding a bike on 2/22/22 to attend the Atlantis 2 ride. It'll be a fun night of riding. (Quiz: why must it be at night?) Families that bring two Atlanti will get special prizes. On Dec 26, 2010, at 11:08 PM, Brian Hanson wrote: > As promised at the last ride, I'd like to enco

That's my recollection too John. I think it was mainly smaller tubing size (to get a livelier feel) and a low trail fork for front loading. Based, as I understand it, partly on feedback from Sogn owners and looking around at what was missing the market. And well, the original Sogns were all gone
