That was the impression I got when talking to Keven a while back. I had called about a discounted SH frame and he advised me, somewhat cryptically, to wait for the newer version that would have a double TT and bigger tire clearance. He seemed to imply that the newer model would be better for tourin

Who knows - we could see Japanese-built Atlantises again if the Dollar to Yen trend ever changes. Unlikely, but not a big deal for the Atlantis really since the Waterfords will be great too. Maybe a big deal for Japanese builders though... On Mar 31, 2:01 pm, Richard wrote: > Forgot the link to P

William, if your wife needs a 47 Atlantis, chances are that the smallest Hillborne won't fit her. I had that conversation with Keven once when I was shopping for a bike for my wife( she's 5'2", with a 73cm pbh). In the end, I got her a 46cm LHT (she was more comfortable with that price range, any

If it's Waterford built it'll be as good as it gets IMO. It's just a matter of deciding what your wife wants. I once talked to Matthew at Kogswell and he said that the Atlantis was one of the most thought out and best designed bicycles ever built and I'd have to agree. Then again that's a matter of

Mark told me that the H is not as stout as the A, but, for $1K frame + fork, that's what I'd choose unless I wanted to run tires fatter than 40 mm wif fenders, in which case I'd look closely at the Hunquapilar. Hell, that is what I *did* choose! On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 5:41 PM, cyclotourist wrote
