[RBW] WTT 64cm Atlantis for 61cm Atlantis
hey group, Just throwing it out there: I have a 2TT 64cm Atlantis that Id like to possibly trade for a 61cm Atlantis, Just testing the waters. PM if so! Thanks y'all!!! -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] WTT - 64cm Atlantis
I've wondered, but not checked with Rivendell, looking at the geometry charts if I'd be a 64 Atlantis or 65 AHH as I love the fit of my 62 Hunqapillar.

This is because the Hunq's top tube slopes up 6 degrees, while the Atlantis's slopes up 2.5 degrees. Every degree translates to 1 cm of handlebar height. For me, the 62 Hunq fits like a theoretical 65.5 cm Atlantis, handlebar heightwise. Also, 62 cm Hunq's top tube is quite long, longer than 64 cm Atlantis. Simply put, my 62 Hunq is a larger bike than my 64 Atlantis. High bars are unavoidable. But it's cool that on this big Hunq I have a little more stand over clearance, as a result of the big upslope angle and it's shortened seat tube. If you're trying to go down 1 size, you want 61 cm Atlantis or 58 cm Hunqapillar. -Jim W.

Re: [RBW] WTT - 64cm Atlantis
It's pretty close. If high handlebars are a big concern, you'll lose 1.5 cm of handlebar height on the Atlantis and Hunq for a given bar/stem combo. (64 cm Atlantis and 65 cm AHH have equal head tube heights, because of a 1 degree difference in TT upslope angle. Atlantis slopes up 1 degree more.) My own experience with Rivendells has been that high bars are so easy to get that such a 1.5 cm bar height loss wouldn't register, because when I'm close to my size, the stem's limit line is always buried a couple cm. if I went down a frame size, I'd be closer to maxed out on stem and it would still work fine. -Jim W.

Re: [RBW] WTT - 64cm Atlantis
Tony, Careful. If you're worried the 64 cm Atlantis will be too big, the 62 cm Hunq will feel even bigger. This is because the Hunq's top tube slopes up 6 degrees, while the Atlantis's slopes up 2.5 degrees. Every degree translates to 1 cm of handlebar height. For me, the 62 Hunq fits like a theoretical 65.5 cm Atlantis, handlebar heightwise. Also, 62 cm Hunq's top tube is quite long, longer than 64 cm Atlantis. Simply put, my 62 Hunq is a larger bike than my 64 Atlantis. High bars are unavoidable.

Re: [RBW] WTT - 64cm Atlantis
Jim - Thanks for the info I think you are right. I threw in the Hunq possibility without really understanding the differences that would change the fit geometry... definitely looking to reduce the standover height by a smidge if possible. High bars don't bother me to much, in fact on my 64cm trek I'm maxing out a Nitto Technomic with some upside down albatross bars. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rSkmaqP1psc/UgHc7rBqBvI/CiI/ooiq3-CNZiI/s1600/RAD_7351.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
