Good luck with your build. I’m in a similar situation, but mine is a rebuild of a 15 year old Atlantis. I already have replaced the wheels with Atlas rims and am on my second silver crank so I’m not going new on those. New Paul brake levers and Canti brakes have arrived along with ergon handlebar grips. New monarch pedals, nitto stem, Rivendell shifters, and sim works super yummy tires have been collected. Im leaning toward the Nitto bull bar as my reinvented Atlantis is going to be an all rounder. The final cabling and adjustment will probably be done by my lbs as I like a well tuned bike and I don’t have enough confidence in my mechanics. It’s been fun researching and making decisions. ~Bill On Monday, January 16, 2023 at 1:46:21 AM UTC-5 R. Alexis wrote:
