Another Toyo Atlantis Build Thread

[Brendan Willard in SF]

I purchased this low miles Toyo Atlantis from a fellow who had it built up with a bunch of 9 speed era fast roadie parts.  

The bike arrived with a dent in the top tube, so I got a quote from Rick at D&D, contacted Bike Flights and they had insurance cut a check.

The bike went to Rick and I decided on the Hunq green as I've never been a big fan of the original Atlantis color.  The paint it beautiful, a bit more sparkly green apple than I expected but it's growing on me.  It's a good match for my green and white Vans, bike lane paint, green waste bins, and Lime scooters (see the latest Riv email).

I had some mismatched Paul levers, a nice SKF BB, some Salsa Rasta skewers, a Clem wheelset, and some other odds and ends.  Bought a Clipper crankset, a Sycip Singles Bar, some Thumbies, XT V-Brakes, etc.

I don't usually get down with blingy anodized stuff, but I'm really in love with the Rasta skewers and red of the SKF against the green frame.  Should I order those anodized Wolftooth bolts?? Hmmm....

Anyhooo.  Here it is in front of my wife's N+1 pillow collection and around SF.

Looks great, Brendan! What size? 53? 54.5?

Ah! Ok… sorry, when I zoomed in, I misread the tires as Naches Pass (which are 26”), instead of Hatcher Pass (700). So I thought it was one of the 26” models, like my 54.5 Toyo. Great work! Sorry you had to deal with a damaged frame, but it seems to have all worked out for the best!

I did have a 26" a while back.  Miss that bike!

[Stephen Durfee]

Sweet Jolly Rancher Apple, I like that!  Swing it by Dandelion someday if you have the chance, I'd love to have a closer look! sd

[John Rinker]

I agree with ChefDurfee, that color is stunning, as is the whole setup of this Atlantis. The red accents at play with the Jolly Rancher apple geen are eye-catching. Must be so satisfying to pedal around on.

Cheers, John

Thanks John and Stephen!

John, yes, very satisfying to cruise on!  Lot's of compliments!

Stephen, I work around the corner from Dandelion at KQED, i'll bring it by so you can take it for a spin while I eat chocolate!
