Mega-APPROVE. You absolutely nailed the fender lines, which is not easy on a single speed. Phil hubs are useful on a singlespeed with fenders, because you can take the axle bolts all the way out to drop the wheel straight down. That's a peach of a bike, right there. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito

RE Geometry: I haven't delved into the details too deeply yet, but speaking personally as one who long wanted but never quite fit one of the old Atlanti sizes - nor *most* of the more recent 6 degree models - these appear to be* just different enough*! I'd have adequate stand over clearance

I am still looking over the geometry but the sloping top tube probably makes it look even more different than it really is. That said, the sizing came out different than I expected (not a bad/good thing...). For instance, I would fit a 61cm (Waterford) Atlantis, 59cm TT (eff), 700c wheels, sta
