You just got back from El Paso Mtn?

I should have been more specific, I have a 53cm, so 650b x largest size
anyone has been successful with.

I am currently running the 26” Super Yummy which is 26 x 2.22 and I would not
go much larger. If you want close up pics of anywhere let me know and I can do
it in the daylight. Mine is a 2004 or 2005 model.

This here is a call out to those with an MIT Atlantis.
What's the largest MTB tire you've successfully squeezed on the old girl?
Looking to put some meat on the Atlantis, 2.4 would be ideal but I notice
the Rivendell Geo chart has 2.2 as the max. James at Riv said 2.35" so
figured I'd ask curre

I was trying to figure out much of this same info a couple weeks back, it
was hard to come up with a definitive timeline based on readily available
info.
This is why I agree with changing model names when deviating away from the
bikes original form, it draws a clear line on what's what.

That Harris page is interesting. It shows a 58 cm (my size) as having a 59
cm TT. I have a couple of Atlantis brochures from around when I got mine
(2003) that show a 58 with a 58.5 TT. I can understanding rounding 58.5 up
to 59. I just measured mine @ 56 cm or maybe 56.5 cm, center to cente
The 54cm has the sought after 26" wheel size, and with a 56cm top tube, so
fits a lot of riders. A NOS rim brake one is becoming a rare find. People
almost always want to know what color it is though. Maybe a couple of
photos with it partially unboxed would be a good idea.

I just got off the phone with James at Rivendell and we agreed that one of
the largest changes from the first batch of MIT to the current batch of MIT
is that the 56 cm was 650B and the current 55cm is 700c. The first batch of
MIT had a shorter top tube as well making a dr

Well that would make sense regarding the number two. I just finished

As far as I can tell there was a MIT version after (between) the Waterford

Somewhere I read that the "2" on the seat tube is a reference to the

Joe,
Thanks. Jim's RR's stop at Summer 2000, there's some mention around 2009
but really less than complete historical account of the Atlantis. I feel a
project brewing.

I just bought a Clem from the garage sale section and plan to ride it as my
all-around utility bike. Off road and on road. It will be my only bicycle
