Hey Chris, This is my take on the drop bar Atlantis. I believe it is probably a 61, frameset was sold to me as a 60. I am 6'2", long arms, typically run my saddle height at around 79cm (from ctr of bb) and a PBH of 88cm. I run a super long nitto quill adaptor and this 0mm discord creemee stem. This setup is as comfortable as I believe a bicycle can possibly be. Interestingly, I recently ordered a 60mm 90-190 that is due to arrive monday. If these pictures or pictures of me on the Atlantis with this 0mm, and / or the 90-190mm stem would help I'd be happy to snap some for you. I will say that with a longer stem I did feel just a touch stretched out but I also knew this frame could be considered a touch big for me.
I suggest checking out some of the writing from Analog Cycles, they have really opened my eyes re:bike fit and my body thanks me. : https://analogcycles.com/pages/true-facts After having spent some time riding with taller, closer stems I learned that I prefer wider bars than I had ever ridden. I have pretty broad shoulders for my frame and the narrow bar, long and low quills of 90's roadbikes have been killing my body for years but that's how it was and I didn't question it. I have switched all of my bikes over to long quilled (190-225mm), short reach (0-60mm) stems and they are all more comfortable. *My Atlantis* : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Digazs37n-cAxE6Eq8SWeTVc1mt5ipJv/view?usp=drive_link Jordan Omaha, NE On Sat, Mar 22, 2025 at 9:59 PM Doug Van Cleve <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Chris. > > I have a 51 cm Joe Appa, which IIRC has a 57.xx effective top tube.
