Thanks. I was curious about the similarity/difference between your new
custom and the Atlantis that you low-trailed and really like. The
comparasion notion occured once you published the tube specs and they lined
up with Atlantis spec.
This is what I see (from the Riv geo table on 61 cm Atlanti):
Rene Custom 61 Atlantis
HT 72 72
ST 71.5 72
ST length 60 ? but close to 60
since Riv measures center to top and C to T is 61
TT length 58.6 59
CS length 46 45.5
BB drop 67 80
Tail 35 40 per Rene on
custom fork
It mostly lines up, no surprise since you like the Atlantis, but the BB
drop is an anomaly.
