Last September I was riding through New Glarus WI on a Sunday morning, when I saw an older Atlantis on a bike rack on a pickup truck with a camper shell. It was a classic Atlantis-drop bars, bar end shifters, wide tires and a lovely well used patina. It was perfect, especially mounted on the back of an adventure rig with some dirt on it. I regret not getting any pictures.Anyone on these forums in New Glarus, parked near the coffee shop, on September 21, 2025? Randy in WI
