The title is vague but I've been looking for a complete or frame for some time. The Atlantis, Clem H or Appaloosa would seem to fit the bill for me. Obviously these are not readily available. If you have a Clem H 52, Atlantis 53 or Appaloosa 54/55 I would be interested. Or, a Sam Hillborne might work as well.
Thank you,
Doug

I saw that one. He prefers not ship but it's on my radar.

Thank you both. I'm really hoping for Atlantis, Clem or Appaloosa but the other options are noted.

Jim,
Yes sir! Georgia to Maine and back.  That Atlantis looks small. Did they ever make a 52?

- 52cm Atlantis - 

Yes, that's an earlier Toyo or MUSA model which was sized like a flat-toptube road bike. The 53cm MIT Atlantis that (I assume) you're looking for is a much larger frame.

Hi, Doug.

Don't leave us in suspense--Clem H, Clem L, color???  Be sure to post a pic when built up, along with your observations, and congratulations. This isn't your first one, is it?  I know I've seen your name for awhile.

Hi Roberta,
I had a Clem H and sold it and have regretted it since. I found a Clem H Grilver (sivler) frameset from the kind folks at Saturday Cycles in Utah. It will take me awhile to build it up but I will keep the group informed! Thank you for being interested. :)

The other Clem is my only Rivendell ever purchased but I'm on here because I like the Just Ride philosophy of cycling. I don't subscribe to carbon bikes or ride as fast as you can although if that is someone's thing then that's good too. Most of my recent bikes have been built with Rivendell parts or in the spirit of Rivendell at least.

As a follow-up, I plan to buy parts from Saturday Cycles and Rivendell but if I can find good used parts I'd be more than happy to buy from forum members. If you have parts to suit a Clem H please let me know. I plan for 650B dynamo wheels and silver parts.
Doug
