Since John brought up Toe Clip Overlap. A lot of list members know this, but maybe they "know" and have forgotten. Some people for sure don't know this. The Atlantis and the Hunqapillar have been redesigned for 650B, and the sizing has changed too. There are no new geo charts up yet. I was curious about a 650B Atlantis to replace my 700C Atlantis. I reached out to Brian at Riv and we agreed that my 58cm 700c Atlantis is the right size, and that the new 56cm 650B Atlantis would be the right size for me. That new 650B Atlantis has a nice large front center, and will have no TCO. My 700c Atlantis does have TCO. So, those of you saving up for a new Atlantis and keeping an eye out for a used one, be advised that it's likely two different bikes. Same spirit, same DNA, but different creatures.
