Hi Kind People,

Looking for a few bits and pieces to put my seafoam yacht afloat.

1. Paul Motolites, I have heard they're a pain to setup but they just look so good. Preference is silver but I'll entertain other colors.
2. S83 post in 26.8mm x 300mm
3. Down tube shifters. I've got some stem shifters coming from my buddy Ryan but I'd also like to try out the simplicity of down tube shifters.
4 650B x 48 Switchback Hill TC Tires. Or Schwabe G-one bite 11601057 54-584 (27.5 x 2.10) SnakeSkin, TL EasyOneStar Black
5. Nitto Losco bar, God it just looks fantastic!

I that's it for now. 

Best Regards,

Hugh

Hugh asked for a 26.8mm seatpost, 650B tires, and downtube shifters for his Atlantis.

Are you sure your Atlantis frame will take downtube shifters?  Old MUSA and Japan Atlantis' had downtube shifter bosses, but those frames were 700C or 26".  The newer MIT Atlantis take 650B in the medium sizes, and take a 26.8mm seat post, but those frames don't have downtube shifter bosses.  Those newer MIT Atlantis' just have housing stops.  

Is your Atlantis some bridge between the two versions?  

I run stem shifters on my MIT Atlantis and my Hillborne highly recommend them, for what it's worth.

Bill asked if I had an Atlantis that bridged between the old MUSA/Japan version and the MIT version?

Bill knows his RIV's I'll give him that. It's an MIT modern version, no downtube bosses and it's a 53cm so 650b.

For what's it's worth I appreciate the stem shifter recommendation.
