Depends on tires. With Jack Brown Greens, very similar. Homer is a little bit racier. Mine are both 700C, 65 cm AHH and 64 cm Atlantis. The bar/seat relationship is about the same though, since Homer's TT upslope is only 1.5 degrees while Atlantis's is 2.5 degrees. That 1 degree difference results in 1 cm of height when projected out along a 62 cm toptube. The Atlantis's wheelbase is a little longer, but keep in mind I don't have one of the newer longer chainstay Atlantises. My Atlantis chainstay is a whopping 0.5 cm longer than that on AHH.

 

To me, they ride pretty much as designed on paper. Homer is closer to road bike quickness, a country bike that can pass for touring, but with greater weight limitations than Atlantis. I have not overloaded my Homer, but it has done great with moderate loads: loafer bags and mini-racks front and rear, really fun to ride it this way and feel fast doing so. The Atlantis, on the other hand, demands some baggage, carries it well, and if I am slower on it, I think, "yeah, but who cares? Look at what I'm carrying to the party (or campsite!)"

With all of this Atlantis lust you guys have got me wondering...

Being one of those too tall for the Atlantis, I've never ridden one.  How does it ride compared to the AHH?
