Thank you Terry. Yes, seems to mean it's a Taiwan version. :)

I can't say it with 100% confidence, but I think MIT stands for "Made in
Taiwan."
Happy trails,

Hi Joel.
That looks awesome. I'm going to give that a shot.
Really enthusiastically new to a lot of this. Rad.

Hi Doug.
I'm pretty set up with bikes for the moment, but I'm trying to sort out if
an older (horizontal top-tube) 56cm Atlantis will fit my friend, who is
5'10-ish.

Thanks for the chainguard info. I'll look into it.
Not sure what the max tire size with fenders is. The Toyos were rated at
52 mm for 700c (58 cm & up) and 2.1 for 26" (56 cm & below), but no mention
of whether that was with fenders. I've had 45 mm Schwalbe Marathon
Supremes on with
Well my AR used 26” rims, that was my reference. Sometimes I don’t have
all or of the nomenclature. And I probably did not understand the post
properly.

Here's what I've found after comparing the very light, very short,
24.8"-tall, ~28 mm wide, Elk Pass-shod wheels on my 26" wheel road bikes
with the 29.6"-tall, 60 mm-wide tires on my dirt road bike: at least with
It’s a great looking bike. I don’t like 26” wheels either but love 659b.

PS: I'll repost pics with the new handlebars and fenders when they arrive.
The Billie bars work better for me on this bike.

Hi Joel.
It's a 53cm, actually.
I'm 5' 11" with a 34-ish PBH (longer torso). Fits me really well.
I suppose the next size up would have worked as well, I'd just have to have
used a shorter stem and you'd see less seatpost... but I wanted 650B wheels
— I dislike fat tires on 29'er wheels,
Paul, is that a 52 or 54? I am curious about your PBH and what size you
went for, and it looks like the top of the step is equal to the saddle.

Beautiful bike, I like how you've set it up

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your reply.
It's interesting, because a lot of long wheelbase bikes have too much rake
up front, which makes the front feel kind of sloggy. The new Atlantis has a
tight enough rake, just a long rear end, and so it still feels relatively
agile. Very cleverly done.
What is
Paul:
BTW, the 1 x 10 is not unusual. If it does what you need done, it's right
for you. Long ago, Grant said something to the effect that a bike frame
was just a place to hang all the parts you need for what you want to do
with your bike. I doubt there are too many Rivendells out there
Paul:
Great to hear you're enjoying your ride. The current Atlantis is the most
comfortable one yet.
Short history: Toyo built the Atlantis for a long time, and while it was
updated a bit here'n'there, it was mostly things like adding braze-ons &
minor running changes. A few years ago
Thanks for the reply and info James.
Yes, the Atlantis is really, really long. I've designed my own frames but
nothing this long, and it's just awesome, I feel like a kid riding a
Stingray. Especially with new rubber fast tires.
The Sam H I built up has similar components (1x10) but had lower
Paul,
Wonderful build, my friend.
Atlantis-es been built in Japan by Toyo in the early 2000s and then by
Waterford in the US until a few years ago when Riv offered up a MIT
version. However, I have heard whispers that if you throw down enough cash
that you can still get a MUSA (Made in the USA)
Thanks Ann. Already am... it doesn't look so clean any more.
Testing some lower bars this week + fenders + this really rad Schindelhauer
rack I found in Germany:

Thank you Steve. Were they all American made before this?
Taiwan makes some amazing bikes.
