You know I’m here for this discussion. From what I’ve read, the AR and Grant’s Atlantis 2 built upon the concept of the XO-1, but made them more versatile bikes with more features. I see very little difference in the All Rounder and the 26” Toyo / Waterford Atlantis models like mine:

When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning,
But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,
I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.
I love my two 26" bikes as well and have been stockpiling rims and even brake pads to keep them in service. There are just so few options left in keeping non-disc 26" bikes on the road, despite it being a versatile, strong, light and awesome wheel size.
The wheels on the Waterford pict were purchased from Nashbar during a clearance for $150.00 w/ shipping a long time ago. I use them to bomb around town etc & swap out to my Dt Swiss for touring.
For a while I felt bad about buying & riding em. Now I am glad to be able to “save” my real touring 26” wheels for when I need em.
I only wish the 2 rims were the same width, I have to reset the cable when I switch them out.
I have adjusters at the lever & the Noodle. Any suggestions for major brake adjustment

The first wheelset I built myself has Riv prototype hubs (Velocity made? Maybe Bitex) laced to 26" ceramic Mavic rims and I didn't think I'd want to switch to 26" disc wheels until I found myself trying to find ceramic brake pads for the v-brakes and paid a dumb amount for some.

Not sure if Im the sole outlier here - but I rather enjoy the XO-1’s steeper road geometry. I spent years racing BMX, as well as, CX making technical singletrack sessions on my XO-1 so much fun. I also love the playful nature of 26” wheels - not to mention the improved cornering and acceleration.
That said, I would love to get my hands on an Atlantis/Toyo as my passion for touring is growing with each day.
