This is a follow up after a couple more weeks of riding.
My other bikes are a tandem and a 94 Specialized Hard Rock with 2.3" Rene
Herse RTP tires and nice handlebars. It's a great bike that I lock outside
and use for errands. I took this bike out on the same route that I've been
riding my new

I believe it climbs better because the long chainstays distribute more
weight on the front wheel. The front wheel tracks straight, and stays down.
Adding 5 pounds of gear weight to the front rack also improved this
feeling. In contrast, on many other bikes I've found that in steep climbs

Great report and a very nice build from the photos. You mentioned the
Atlantis climbs better than your other bikes. Any ideas or reasons why
this is so??
I noticed all MIT Atlantis have a 72° STA and with your 89cm PBH, a 1°
slacker STA (from 73° to 72°) results in a 1.3cm increase in

have much bite cornering in the loose stuff, as I've discovered with a
couple low speed crashes. They did very well on loose, steep climbs, but
some of that may be attributed to the frame with long chainstays and super

I on the contrary will be interested to hear how the G-Ones roll on
pavement. I've got a stash of the predecessor Big Ones -- these have even
smaller "knobs" -- "knoblets" is a better word -- but in the event that I
live long enough to outlast my stash, I wonder if the G-One replacement
will roll a
I’d be interested in hearing more about how the G-One Allrounds do off road and
what kind of trails you ride.
I’ve been thinking of putting them on my Jones SWB since I ride quite a bit on
road and rarely ride on trails when they are muddy and don’t feel like knobbies
are really needed for the
