If you had an older Atlantis that was a 56 or under, ie, a 26"-wheeled bike, you could use the Paul Motolites and run it as a 650b (if I ever run across a cheap 56 Atlantis, I'd consider doing such). I wouldn't try to run a 700c Atlantis as a 650b.
(Realize, I have to caveat things everytime I open my mouth, but this is coming from a guy who converted his 700c Ram to 650b Hetres, and then for awhile borrowed the 700c wheels for the 650b Bomba w/ Motolites, just to see how it'd be, and it was fine...)
