I’ve been feeling myself get more Rivpilled lately but I kinda forget about this. Much to consider
I want an Atlantis that is a cross between the current and the Toyo
long rear end, tight front
I think I’ve settled on this:
HTA 72
STA 73.5
CS 485
Bb drop 8
TT slope 8d
A2C 420, 47 or 51 offset
To fit 29x2.2 w fenders

Daddy says the twine cuffs are necessary to enjoy the bicycle. We cannot stop applying shellac to our own binding. We love the bicycle

I used to want a Rivendell but then one of my favorite shops bought some frames for stock and hung them to display on pegs where I could lift them and I was cured

Mine have all ridden great as well. Say whatever you want about Grant, he knows how to design bikes that ride well.
