Hmm, good point. I was looking at something more like an all rounder. I have a Hilsen but I am not getting any smaller I dont think so at 250lbs I am pretty much maxed out on that. My kid wants to go camping so was looking for something that was road comfy and could do some lugging. I know the Atlantis is the bike I am describing but I really dont want to go 26" wheels and dont think I would fit comfortably on the 58. Also would like to re-use the 650b setup I am using on the Hilsen now if I do get a nother bike right now. I am not fortunate enough to have a wife who is understanding about needing multiple bikes so I have to keep it down to 2 unfortunately and she uses the MB2 as well because she feels more confident on the big tires. Anyone have an old 52cm Bomba sitting around? :) Cant hurt to ask.
