You won't regret it. I was skeptical but took a leap of faith. No regrets
whatsoever. It's not a road bike but it's no slug.

I may have to upgrade (more likely add another) at some point. I like big
rubber, and the long wheelbase sounds fun.

I have a 53 MIT Atlantis w/ Bille bars but could use drop bars with a short
stem. I'm at the bottom of the PBH range. Enough top tube clearance for the

I agree. I have a 53 MIT Atlantis w/ Bille bars. I'm at the bottom of the
PBH range. The fit is perfect and the ride is exceptional.

I was on the phone with Bruce Gordon some months ago to order a rear rack for

The MIT Atlantis and Appaloosa have enormous chainstays, 52cm in my size -
wow. I knew the Appaloosa was set up that way but didn't realize the

Def good for road and touring with the wider tire options of the Atlantis.
