I did a short ride on a 56 cm 650b Atlantis at RBWHQ, and really liked it. I have a 58 cm 700c Atlantis, and the 650b was different somehow, in a good way. I can't put my finger on it but the ride was just nicer. I believe the new designs have slightly longer chainstays, so that may be part of it. They have the geo charts for all of them on the website, including max tire sizes. Not sure the new ones take significantly wider rubber than the old.
Someone here bought that demo bike & was to have posted his findings. Maybe I missed it but I never skip anything with "Atlantis" in the subject line. dougP On Monday, November 27, 2017 at 9:01:58 AM UTC-8, Max S wrote: > > So, anyone ride a 650b Atlantis yet?.. ride reports? > > I was tempted by the 58 cm b-nut Appaloosa for sale, but not digging the > double top tube aesthetic, and not completely sold on the super-long chain > stays.
