Will agree with David on this. Had a Flyer on my Atlantis and it seemed too "mushy". The Atlantis is set up with Albatross bars. Combination of upright sitting and sprung saddle just got things too bouncy. Oh, and the Atlantis has Big Apple tires. Comfy, yes. But was really difficult to pedal smoothly with that combination.
Have a regular Champion on there now. Even that saddle seems too soft. Hard to find the sweet spot to sit. Maybe that one is worn out? Or it's indicating it's time to do some (minor) re-design on the bike. The new catalog has me thinking. . .
