Sage is such a versatile color. Much like the gray on Joe’s custom:-)

I'm with Joe. The sage was my favorite Sam color. I think they look great
with black bits.

Whether the current Sam is too long, too short, or just right certainly
depends on your body type but for me, it's perfect. I have a 51 that fits
me spot on, and I believe strongly that in order to really love a bike, it
can't just be close - it needs to fit. For my 50cm drops I run a 5cm stem

For those of us with short torsos and long legs, and a strong preference
for drop bars, 2cm can make a huge difference in comfort over a 3-4 hr ride
Market interest in custom or limited release stems seems mostly fueled by
the overabundance of long TT framesets in a world moving in the direction
I think MTB's were steered to long top tube short stem route because
of Fat 29er wheels and long travel suspension. Doesn't mean it doesn't
work well, but it's not unheard of for the bicycle world to sell a
compromise as a feature. Maybe 650b wheels are the better compromise?
I admit to being one
It seems that many riders are very happy with short stems and bars
compensating for longer top tubes. I'd have to try such a combination
before I paid for one, but it seems there are many different ways to skin a
cat -- so to speak. And now I recollect that modern mountain bikes have
similar design
Clayton, I'd probably need the zero offset stem to fit noodles on the
current 59 Atlantis. Obviously, the 70 degree head angle can get the bars a
lot closer, but only by having the bars much higher than I want). Yes, it
could be done for me, but only just. The 55 Atlantis, with its 59cm top

Eamon,
What stem length and which upright bars would you run on the 59 Atlantis?
What top tube length and stem length would you need on an Atlantis to run
Noodles?

The analog stem is no joke. I run a 30mm one on a MUSA Atlantis that fits me
like a glove and fit me like a glove before the short stem. It has improved
comfort, and handling especially off road. It’s definitely stiffer than a
longish technomic, so maybe that’s the handling improvement I feel.
Clayton, most people I know, if changing from drops to upright bars on the same
bike, would use a longer stem for the uprights. That’s not an emotional
decision. For myself, if on a 59 Atlantis with its 64cm top tube, I’m not
running anything but upright bars on it. I bet it’s great too, but it’

People accept and love handlebars like Bosco, Losco, Jones and Albas. These
bars often put your hands behind the steertube/steering axis. But, the same
people throw their hands in the air over sub 40mm stems paired with drops

slight differences in road handling, but the frame rode the sam

Hi Patrick,
This will all sound a little vague and I am likely not describing it
perfectly but here it goes:
To answer the question about how handling changes with shorter stem:
Personally I don't think it affects handling much *as long as it works
within the overall bike bike/rider system*.
How do such short stems affect the handling of the Atlantis? I use stems on
my Riv Roads that are short by conventional standards -- 8 cm, and I
absolutely insist on drop bars with sufficiently long ramps (but
short-hooded Shimano aero levers and not the very long brifter levers), and
insist on a b
It is nice that stems and seatposts are now available to make so many
bike frames work for a variety of riders with the huge variety of
handlebars out there. I haven't done it yet but I'd like to try Drops
on my old 1989 Miyata MTB. Maybe I'll become a convert of longer top
tube shorter stem concep
Just to be clear, I am not advocating reversing stems, what I am getting at
is more along the lines of a 30-50mm stem vs. a 100-120mm stem.

There are benefits to one-size-fits all bicycles like Bromptons. I
suppose there are benefits to reversing your 8cm stem and running a
16cm longer top tube, but I think I prefer the benefits of a bike that
actually fits.
