Thanks for the chart. It seems that if I subtract 2 inch from my PBH, a 58 cenimeter bicycle is about right in terms of standover since it gives me close to 2 inches of clearance from the neather region but subtracting 10 to 11 cm from the PBH is about 4 inches. So maybe I need a 56 inch frame wi

Great looking Atlantis!  Looking at the pix, the chainstays dont look like they have the S bend, they look straight, and the front fork looks just like the one on my proto SimpleOne.  The fork crown on my Atlantis from '05 was different.  Did you order something different with this Atlantis?

Khalid I'm certain that both of those sizes (58 and 61) will work for you. Riv in general will not tell you that you need 2 inches of clearance. It's more likely that they'll tell you that 2 inches of clearance liberates you to go bigger. It also depends somewhat on who you talk to. I'm consider

Also think about what tires you plan to use. The Atlantis is intended for 35 mm to 52 mm widths. With most tires, the diameter increases along with the width. Actual width can vary from nominal. I have always used 35 mm width and Pasela, T-serv and Schwalbe have all measured different, even tho

Doug makes an excellent point.  When I rode my 61 Atlantis (pbh87) with ruffy tuffy's it felt like a good size, but when I put on the pasela 37's for dirt it made the bike feel to big, and wishing I had a 58. Dave Nawrocki Fort Collins, CO - Original Message - From: "doug peterso

Get one or two cheap moving pads/blankets and attached them to the hook somehow. Hang your bike and wrap it with the pads and tie a length of rope around it. When you use the bike, the pads can just hang on the hook, waiting for your return. On 3/19/2011 6:04 PM, Bridgestone wrote: Looks li
