Not 100% positive, but I think Specialized MTBs of that era were

I tend to agree with z-man on this one. An Atlantis sized down would
make a great mountain bike. Or at least I think it would. I don't own
one but based on clearance, other riders raves and its clearance it
sure seems like it would make a solid and capable off road machine.
What is nice about the

With the 700C Hillborne you could easily put the Schwalbe Marathon

and it can easily ride off road. Not through

650b cyclocross-ish setups on canti/v brake dedicated frames that

The bike (Riv) that will do all you're asking would be the Atlantis.
Plenty of tire clearance, 29er/26er depending on frame size. I'd like
to be able to set one up w/ a 26 rear, 29 front, w/ drop bars, regular
canti's etc-that would be fun. Really more of the 80's style mtn bike

not w/ cantis or long reach sidepulls. that's why i wished they had
clearance for full-sized 650b tires.

It does not look unlike the Rock Hoppers and Stump Jumpers from the
