Looks like the AR is sold as it has disappeared. To continue our sizing discussion here is my 56 Rambouillet. As you can see even with the same size frame and upslope, the shorter fork on the Atlantis makes the head tube much longer.

Judging from the space between the top tube and the down tube at the head tube, I would have guessed this to be a bigger frame. It could be that the combination of extended head tube and 26" wheels contributes to the illusion. I guess really hard to tell from photos, but here is an Atlantis tha
