Have you considered a used atlantis? There have been a number on sale from time to time on this list. I've debated selling mine occasionally b/c I've come to the conclusion that I bought a size below where I should have, but I've never quite pulled the trigger on selling it b/c, despite being a bit small, it still rides well. :) -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
