Atlantis on SF Craigslist

[Joe Bernard]

What is the general consensus on how deep the rust damage is on this? That poor thing sat outside for a looooong time.

[Julian Westerhout]

I do not think the rust is all that bad -- superficial, IMHO. 

The bike is clearly not, as claimed, a 2018 Atlantis -- it is older -- looks like an early 2000s Toyo bike to me. Seller says it is a 53cm. The seller also says they're the second owner, that they paid between $1.2 and $1.5k for it (odd to have such a range).

I think a careful inspection and some probing questions might be warranted.

I also am pretty sure its a toyo from those first couple of years (no midfork eyelets). i agree that rust could be bad, but thats more a question of how much you hate rust. i don't like rust, so i'd probably buy a kiddie pool and soak it in white vinegar for a couple days. 1k seems like a reasonable price if you could use even half the components.

I liked it better at $800, which is where it was a few days ago. But I don't like rust...

Joe,
I think it’s your size....
😳

[Joe Bernard]

It is my size, and I have to resist a good deal on a Riv just for the sake of the deal. I just sold a MIT Atlantis frame!

Looks like this is now on eBay as a frameset for $1,000.

Well THAT'S weird.

[Drw]

I think these are 2 separate atlanti. The one on eBay is Adam/Adom’s I believe.

[Joe Bernard]

Ah, you're right. This explains why the Ebay one is scrapey but very little rust.

[Adam Leibow]

hello - yes that ebay one for $1k is mine. LMK if you want it cheaper. i know it's not in great cosmetic condition.
