Great bike, Brad! I love it! Fruita's been on my list for getting to someday, especially the Eastern third of the Kokopelli Trail (the Moab 2/3rds being mostly sandy jeep trails rather than single track). David et al, the skill of falling uphill and never down hill serves well in any mountain

700c 57cm. My first Hilsen was a 59 and was just too big. I was running a 60 stem and was still reaching. My sweet spot is 56cm, so even this is a little long. I'd love to try a 56 Atlantis with something like a big apple. On Friday, December 12, 2014 12:41:45 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote:

Thanks Jay. Yea, Josh is making some really incredible bikes. I'm thankful he was available to do it, and was instrumental in my decision to go forward with it. THIS was my inspiration for the color. Hard to go wrong with Porsche 365 Speedster Aquamarine.
