I agree, it would be a very sad day to see the Atlantis put to sleep. Hopefully that won't happen. That said, I'd love to see a Taiwanese version of it. But then again they have the Hillborne. Who knows what the future holds, perhaps the economy will change and the Toyo frames will be more affordable.
