Erik: If you're PBH is within the range for 2 sizes there will probably be enough adjustment for you to get comfortable. I have a 58 cm Atlantis & according to the charts my PBH is in the range for either 56 or 58. I've briefly ridden a 56 and could easily make that size work. I've also ridd

Well when I called Riv, they told me I was in between and use either size. Since my torso seems to be a bit longer, I went with the longer top tubed frame. I think you will be fine either way. On Thursday, December 31, 2015 at 1:51:04 AM UTC-5, erik balsbaugh wrote: > > Done, Ordered a 59, but

Erik, You know exactly what the Atlantis did great and the only way to compare and know firsthand is to give the AHH a go. Maybe the best of both will play out and the authorities can help recover your beloved Atlantis and you will be blessed with both. Regardless sorry for your physical loss,

Erik, it sounds like you have come out of this with a good bike! Being between sizes shouldn't be a problem, you can get your fit dialed in with stem length easily enough. Enjoy the new kid-hauler!!! On Wed, Dec 30, 2015 at 7:07 PM, erik balsbaugh wrote: > Done, Ordered a 59, but based on your v

Erik: We have some listmembers who have one of each, so hopefully they'll chime in. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Atlantis but it sounds like you came thru OK. I have an Atlantis and love it for touring but don't do any performance riding so not sure how it would do as a brevet bike.

Sounds like you've mostly answered you own question. Based on my experience/love/abuse of my Quickbeam, which is a roadie weight frame closer to the AHH than the Atlantis, the AHH will serve you brilliantly. Go for it! With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 4:36:40 PM UTC-7,
