Matt,
I have an older Atlantis and have Compass Rat Trap Pass 2.3 on it with
fenders.

I've ridden thousands of miles of Midwest gravel on my Toyo Atlantis; 200
of them were racing the Dirty Kanza. I switched to a Salsa Fargo for
serious gravel riding because of comfort, disc brakes, and tire clearance.
I can barely squeeze 700x50 on the rear of the Atlantis and the brakes and
I'm in a similar boat as Robert, the original poster, so thank you Robert
and all for this discussion.
Does anyone know if the 56 cm / 650b (MiT?) Atlantis has a little more tire
clearance than the 2.2" that is reported for all Atlantis (Atlantii?) on
the latest spec sheet available online (
robert I've toured from a few hundred to a couple thousand miles on my
Japanese built Atlantis, a 68, lightly and heavily loaded, more pave than
gravel, but it did fine on gravel.
it'll probably always be my go to bike for tours; only caveat, a small one,
is it likes the weight more in back
Yes, but he is ramping up production, he was having things done in small
batches in LA; if I am not mistaken he's now getting larger batches out of
Taiwan.
Yes, the Nor'Easter is sweet, but would basically be a duplicate of my
Atlantis.

Crust's business plan basically requires that Matt sells through a batch
before they have the cashflow to buy a new run, hence the sporadic
availability - but you can rest assured that most of the time, a new order
is only 1-3 months away. I love the Bombora, I actually debated between
that
Well, the Atlantis could certainly handle that. I have an older 53 Toyo (I
believe) and it's phenomenal. Ideal for what you are doing. They had the newer
ones on the floor the last time I was there, but for some reason I didn't try
it. ?
I also have a Crust Bombora and it is an amazing bike
My greatest regret is selling my pointy-lugged, made-in-Japan Atlantis. The
Atlantis was forgiving of my inexperience and 2nd-rate packing job on my
first multi-day tour in Wyoming back in 2008. I couldn't have had more fun
or been more comfortable (though I've adjusted my saddle angle since
I too thought about the upcoming Charlie frame, even though we don't know
everything about it yet. I get the sense it's a re-invented Hillborne,
which sounds more in line with what you need - the Atlantis might be a
touch overbuilt based on your plans, while the Homer might be a touch
I also have 2. A 2000 toyo and a 2017/18 musa 650b. Both are great and both can
do basically anything besides go super fast. I have stockpiled parts and an
extra fork for the 650b Atlantis so I can ride it if the world ends. It’s a
purchase I’d doubt many regret.

How about the new Charlie B Gallop that is coming out.

I purchased what I believe is a 2014 Atlantis second hand. I’ve taken it twice
on 1 week tours on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, probably about 700
miles total. I also use it as a commuter and general all around hauler and
have put about 6,000 Happy miles on it.

Robert,
You can add my name to the responses that won't talk you out of an
Atlantis. I have two that are both set up for fully loaded touring and I
love them both.
One is a 58cm I've owned since 2002 with 700 x 35c tires (Panaracer Pasela)
and fenders. It's been a very capable and reliable
Robert:
I should have also mentioned I've ridden the current iteration Atlantis
with the longer wheelbase. Rides even better and I cannot see what it
gives up anything in handling. The LWB also gives you extra clearance
between your panniers heels.

Hi, Robert.
Prior to Rivendell, my most expensive bike was $300 and I kept that bike
for 30 years. I couldn't imagine spending more than ten times that on a
new one. Then, I rode an MUSA Atlantis. OMG, it was so wonderful. But
even more expensive then I could swing. Then, I rode an
Robert:
I bought a 58cm Atlantis in '03 & have taken it on numerous tours. If you
intend to load it down, it's the go-to Rivendell. I have had up to 45mm
tires on with, with fenders. I think it's rated to 50 or 52mm. 40mm is my
happy place (I weigh 170). I bought mine based on a road test

I've had 3 Atlantis' a 56, 58 and back to a 56. I just like the fit of a 56
better. I've been on a couple of 700 mile tours on mine and wouldn't think
twice about taking it across country on any roads. I ride it locally and
it's kinda like having a mountain bike with a generator hub and
