Congrats on the Atlantis! I've owned mine just about 10 years and literally loved it to pieces. Currently waiting for a skilled frame builder to complete the repair…
I currently (well, previously currently) ride 43mm Soma Shikoros on my Atlantis. They are a slick round supple tire, basically a wider Jack Brown. I really like them for commuting plus occasional dirt/gravel and worn trails. They are wide enough to provide comfort and confidence, roll fast, feel great and they're hard to flat. My only wish is that they made them in even wider sizes. If they made them in 53mm, I'd be in heaven.
