I'm about 200 miles into the Atlantis now, and I'm convinced it is a perfect bike. There isn't a thing I would change about it. I am certain there is not another <$1500 frameset out there that is intended for the same kind of riding that is better. Rivendells in general for 2019 are highly evolved bikes for traditional riding use-cases. Virtually everything else in the bike industry of 2019 is either not highly evolved, or is made for extreme and/or specialized riding use cases. If you are a normal person, doing normal cycling, the Atlantis is a perfect machine. There's no question that the Atlantis could be a one-bike stable for me. I'd never actually try to live with a one-bike stable, but I'm totally confident I could.
