I almost bought this bike just cause the price seemed soo right. It would have been a bit small for my wife, I would have just flipped the frame and bought a correct sized one. Glad I held off cause seems like it worked out perfect for you. It was crazy that it was on CL for so long at that crazy

It must have been the size that kept it from selling. My wife is 5'-2 but has short legs. Even with the tiny tires she doesn't have a lot of clearance. Next to my 58 her bike looks like a toy. OTH, it'll be a heck of a lot easier to pack up ship for a tour! James Black had a silver Tubus Fly

Cool deal Doug, so now you guys have matching bikes? ;) It sounds like karma pooints for bragging on the versitility justa few days before. Now you need to find one at a garage sale for your brother. -- Rob Perks oceanaircycles.com On Nov 20, 3:01 pm, doug peterson dougpn...@cox.net wrote:

Rob: My not so li'l bro likes heavy duty everything. I pointed him to the Hunq he said that's my kinda bike. Now, if he'll just pry open his wallet... My wife was a little bit nervous the Atlantis might be heavier than her aluminum Trek, so I weighed both in her presence. 22 lbs each, sans
