bike with a very tall nitto stem.
Within 6 months I decided it was too small for me. Fortunately someone on
the ibob list had the exact opposite problem.
Their Atlantis was too big and they wan
Cool photos. If those owners are local, then I imagine you couldn't go outside
in Seattle without running across an Atlantis. I need to visit Seattle.
