On a club ride last weekend, pal Frank (on a racked and fendered Bilenky) and I (on a racked and fendered Saluki -not far different from an Atlantis) pulled away at 18 - 20 avg from the F85/Roubaix pack, just because we were felling perky. The Saluki feels comfortable, not heavy. (Tires are GB Oursons) When a bike feels good, you can feel fast. I imagine Atlantis might work on similar lines.
