Seems like a fair price for a great bike that won’t be available again until 2020. I think the time of year for selling a bike is hard. My 55 is still for sale. Great looking frame and built. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group

I can’t compare the MIT Atlantis to original Atlantis but can compare the 58 Toyo Atlantis to 55 Joe Appaloosa. From my understanding the Joe Appaloosa is a 700c version of the MIT Atlantis. The JA’s long chain stays make a real difference and add a ride quality that is hard to describe. The

Doug, Thanks for the info. I was surprised by the shimmy but after doing a search on the list it seems to be pretty common. I wouldn’t have expected it because I thought of the Atlantis as a very stout bike and the shimmy more of a symptom of a thin steel. I am a little over 200lbs and shifting

Bill, I know you also have two BMC Road bikes. Why did you choose to keep those over the selling one of the Roadini? Also I am curious how you thought the Joe Appaloosa compares to the Atlantis. My understanding they are similar bikes, except for wheel size, and you previously had the Joe.
