[RBW] I think I have the 98th Atlantis. Does anyone remember what was cool?

Cool. I have 37 or 47 or something in that range. It lives out of state, so I 
can't double check. Mine has passed through many hands of people on this list, 
but still rides perfectly.

The number 2 is on all atlanti as a reference to the Bridgestone Atlantis, I 
believe. 

I did some reading when I got it. The chainstays are different. Slight s 
curves, not straight. There was something about toyo being able to bend the 
stays and also make them stronger. I can't remember what the tubing is. Kasei 
maybe?

Id like to see what the first run looked like if you care to post pics. I don't 
think i have seen one before except in RReaders.

What year did you buy it? Interested to know how old an original is.

I think they didn't have the "2" decal on the ST. Is that right?

2017-10-06 Thread Ty Graham
After reading the other Atlantis thread here today, I went and flipped my 
Atlantis to check the serial #. 0098 as near as I can read which makes sense 
since I pre-bought the first run. 
I remember an email from Grant telling us what we were getting. There was some 
sort of tubing upgrade just because of what was available at Toyo or their 
supplier at the time. It was a typical Grant statement like “It doesn’t even 
really matter, and no one will ever know, but ...”

I didn’t save the email. Did anyone else? Or does anyone maybe remember the 
details?

Not like I’m ever selling this bike, just wondering. 


Thanks
