I managed to sell it today to a nice guy named Rod that drove down from
Fort Collins tonight. He had a couple Mercians that he had built up to
Atlantis geometry and seemed really pleased with it. It's a sad day for me
but it's getting a good home and I took delivery of the Ogre this morning.
Good deal. He's probably pretty stoked to find a great bike in that size.
Cheers,
David

Hi everyone,
I went to check the bike out last weekend (I live in Denver) and I wanted
to let everyone know that if you are looking for an Atlantis you shouldn't
hesitate to pull the trigger on this one. The parts are all top of the
line and the bike felt great to ride. My wife sort of shut
I'd be all over this if I hadn't recently built up a Hillborne. Seems like
a fair price to me.
Good luck!

The price seems to cheap to me. Then again maybe that's why my Quickbeam
didn't sell I wanted to much for it. Pretty bike good luck on the sale.

Jim, I remember reading about your Atlantis years ago on your blog (if I'm
remembering correctly) and it was an inspiration to me to buy it in the
first place - so thanks for that.
It's been a great bike - it's kind of the generalist of the bike world,
no? Can do almost anything at least
Honestly Drew, I wouldnt drop the price at all. That is a very nice
bike at an insanely reasonable price. Good luck!-Mike

I'd hold tight on the price, at least for a bit. In the world of used bikes, if
you attract the right buyer, the price doesn't matter. If you attract the wrong
buyer, the price doesn't matter. IME, lowball prices attract the bottom feeders
who'll suck the life out of you before deciding the
That seems like a really fair price to me, you're just in rarified air -
we're an odd lot! You might consider a cross-post to the SF bay area
craigslist (if such a thing is allowed).

Good price. Not earth-shattering, but pretty good based on components and
custom paint. I'm bugging my buddy to get it, but no luck so far!!!
Cheers,
David

That makes sense, Drew. The consideration that with the Atlantis you can
then easily switch back to an all-rounder at little to no cost down the
road is worth including in the calculation. Yes, it costs a few hundred now
(less if you can buy used components via a WTB post here), but the long
I owned an Atlantis for several years, and I own an Ogre now. I will be a
bit of a contrarian by agreeing with your decision to swap the Atlantis for
the Ogre. Aside from traditional geometry and lugs and the Rivendell
mystique, the Ogre has all the good stuff the Atlantis has, and then some.
Excellent point, Jim. It's a good problem to have, choosing between two
bikes. Grin.
With abandon,
Patrick

Hi Drew!
That is a sweet looking Atlantis! I'm going to second Tony's recommendation
to try a set of fat knobby-type tires before parting with that bike. I've
extensively used my Atlantis with Schwalbe Marathon XRs (700x40) on the
trails and primitive roads on the Navajo Rez in the four corners
I'm leaving wednesday to ride the Natchez Trace Trail, and would appreciate
it if someone would talk Drew out of selling this great looking bike before
I get back. I'm very tempted to buy this, but agree with all who've
replied, that maybe trying some different tires would make it an
Drew, I 9th the recommendation to focus on retooling your Atlantis,
particularly since it sounds like your Surly is shock free. An 80's style
mountain bike is a blast. My Hunqapillar with Albatross bars and non-knobby
fat tires (Schwalbe Dureem 50's) does fantastic on most trail, with more
Believe me that I never envisioned selling it when I bought it. It did
occur to me that I could retrofit the Atlantis to do more tough stuff
riding. I started putting a list of all of the parts to really do it right
and it was going to be a few hundred dollars - and I started pitching it to
18 matches
