I am planning on getting one in Atlantis classic color. I was kind of disappointed it is being offered in a color other than the classic Atlantis blue. I think that was part of its appeal, the original (albeit very different to the original model) bike in the Riv line-up that was only offered in one color, true to its principles blah blah blah. Also with Sergio green also being the color of the Appaloosa, and those two bikes being so similar, I would even be tempted to merge them, effectively discontinuing one of the two, and offer more intermediate sizes of the resulting "Appa-lantis".
Another thing I am not too enthused about this year's model is the pump peg in the seat stays. I do prefer the less conspicuous pin in the head tube underneath the top tube. I think that if you are not planning on carrying a large pump in the seat stay (either because you have a mini pump or because you large pump lives in a frame bag), the peg itself is a bit of an eyesore that ruins the straight line simplicity of the seat stays and rear triangle.
