I've been commuting on my new 58 Atlantis for several weeks.  Built it up entirely with parts from my 56 Hillborne.  With Marathon Supremes at 60/50 psi the ride is "buddah."

One little bit I'm particularly fond of is the clean bell attachment offered by VO stem spacer bell mount.  The Crane bell is elegant, but the clamp mount, not so much.  I also installed one on my wife's LHT and everyone notices it.

Outstanding. Yours is set up with so few limitations.

What's your label on the marathon supremes?  are they the 700x42 ones from Riv that measure out at ~38mm?  I'm thinking of upgrading from my marathon plus tires on my hillborne, but those are 700x37--which measure out pretty close to size.   

i love the integrated bell mount on the stem.  I just got an order of small parts from VO yesterday and i totally missed this item when i was putting together my order!  I would've gotten 1-2 for the parts box! Grr!!!

The tires are 622 X 42 / 700 X 40.  Head on they look slightly larger than the 37 Contacts on my wife's LHT.

The spacer bell-mounts are $5.00 a piece.  Surprised Riv doesn't sell something similar.  Maybe a country of origin issue.

+1 on the headset washer bell mounts.  I got two of them from VO and a couple cranes from Riv.  It's a great setup.
