Rene Best wishes on your process, no matter how you proceed. I recently picked up a 2005 Atlantis and went on my first forty miler yesterday. It had me thinking: what do I need those other nine bikes for? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW

Thanks for the feedback! My son's Tallboy is the aluminum regular travel and mine is the carbon LT. They are so much fun to ride and I just love how they handle. But he isn't riding it and in the past, would only ride with me if I insisted. He'd then have a lot of fun, but never in his 16 year

Tough spot to be in, René. But trust me, I/we feel your pain... I think every couple months how I should sell a bike or two. So far, hasn't happened! As to your situation, I think your biggest overlap is with the Homer 'Lantis. Especially as you can only fit a 40mm tire on the latter. I would
