Mark:
Atlantis always used the two wheel sizes with 26 on 56 & smaller.

I know this does not really affect sizing, but I am curious. The Atlantis'
sized 58 and up are 700C. Was there a time when all the sizes were
available as 26"? Or am I confusing this with the LHT, which I think still
offers both wheel sizes after 56cm?

The 58 is definitely not too big for 85cm pbh

Just to throw something into the mix. That issue about being stretched out
is all too complicated to me. I should ride a 58 by Rivendell standards,
but my Arms–my arms. They are just a wee too short. This slight variation
in body proportion has made my life subtly out of proportion. Suit coats
Thanks for all the insight folks. Definitely thinking the 58 is the ticket.
Gunna give a call to the west coast soon. Anyone in the NC/VA area have a
similar Rivendell available for a test ride?

I'll add to the chorus: I think a 56 will be too short for you. Get at
least a 58. I'm just shy of 5' 10" with an 84cm PBH and 74cm saddle height.
I have a 56cm Atlantis, it's a great bike but sometimes I wonder if I'd be
better off with a 58. You're longer than I am, so I don't think a 56 would

A follow-up comment to my previous post. When I bought my Atlantis, I went
thru an entire sizing exercise with Rivendell to order a custom. I have no
odd proportions or bike fit problems. It was a vanity thing. At the end
of the exercise, they said "you know, we'd just be building you a
i agree that a 56 seems much too small. i have the same pbh but am
5'9-10ish and would ride a 56. i would think your longer torso/arms would
want a slightly longer top tube to stretch out on. 56+albatross bars seems
like it would have you very scrunched up. how short was the stem on the

A wide variety of torso and leg lengths here!
I too am short legged, so much so that Grant felt he had to measure my PBH
twice to confirm. I'm 5'10" with a PBH of 81.0cm. I like my saddle slightly
lower so it's usually at about 70.5cm. With these measurements, Grant
suggested either a 53 or 54.

I don't have my measurements handy, but at 6" i would lean towards a 58"

Ian:
Your PBH & saddle height are same as mine, but I am 5'-10", and have been
riding a 58 cm Atlantis with 10 cm stem since '03. According to Rivs
sizing charts I'm in the overlap between 56 & 58. I have briefly ridden a
56 and it felt fine. I've also briefly ridden a 61 (next size up) and f
Just another data point:
I'm 5'10"-ish, 90-ish PBH, and I ride a 61 Atlantis. This gives me a
fistful of seatpost, and I run Albastache bars on a shorter stem
(50cm?).
I'm pretty comfortable on this, but could probably do a 58 just as
well. I think there is only 0.5cm difference in top-tube len

Just from my experience you should be on a 58 or 60cm Atlantis. I am
~2inches shorter, with a saddle height around 73cm (with 170mm cranks) and
was fitted to a 58cm Atlantis once at Riv. It rode BIG but I could have
made it work if need be. I would definitely see if there's some Atlantii to
try
