Matt, I have often wanted an Atlantis but have regrettably never gotten one. I do have a 62cm cantied Saluki and a 62 cm Ram. I love them both. As someone else mentioned, the AHH was brought to market as a revised Saluki. The Saluki is not as fast or agile as the Ram, but is not slow either. I love the wider 650B tires on the Saluki and prefer it for the many dirt ( and lousy chip & seal roads) in Vermont. I run 38s but 41s will fit under VO fenders. The Saluki does just fine on grocery runs, and I would not hesitate to take it touring, although the tandem does all of that work. It's a great bike, but if you already own an Atlantis it's hard to see what more you will get. Probably the Saluki is a bit quicker unloaded, but if it's more speed you are looking for there are other, better choices. On the other hand you could continue to search for one and then decide which one you wanted to keep. If I were headed to Tierra del Fuego, I would choose the Atlantis; for the rest of my rides, the Saluki is great.
