FS 62 cm 2022 MIT Atlantis 4100 OBO

[Emmet Sheehan]

Since someone else already posted it, I'd figure i'd put it up here. Can maybe do a better deal if I sell it here instead of Ebay, shoot me an offer?

I’m selling my 2022 MIT 62cm Atlantis built at Hope Cyclery in Johnstown (that I posted here a couple months ago). Take a look!

Build highlights:

Velocity Cliffhangers 36h - silver rear hub, son dynamo in front

Towel Rack bars with Tekro long pull/shimano brakes

3x9 drivetrain, silver cranks, deore rear, sun xcd front

Asking 4100 shipped and insured OBO

Never fell in love with this like I thought I would, wasn’t quite perfect for twisty, technical singletrack I was wanting, and I have several other commuting/touring bikes. It is truly a jack of all trades and someone will love it. Maybe you!

Emmet:

Set-up question for ya. I like direction you took your Atlantis build (I'm in middle of building a 62 myself). I'm strongly considering exactly that route. How do the road brake levers work with the v-brakes? I've read road levers don't have enough pull for v-bakes to provide good breaking. What's your experience, since your set-up is just that?

I'm wanting to run Ultegra 600 brifters with XTR v-brakes to get a set-up with a cockpit, brakes, and plump tires; like your (for now) Atlantis.

Your thoughts, please?

Scott

Emmet:

Another question for ya. I just ordered a set of Cliffs, non-machined sidewall. Are you happy with yours? Or given the choice again, would you go machined sidewall? The brake pad residue looks a little uneven on your rim is why I ask? Think the machined sidewall is the way to go, knowing what you know now?!

Tekro makes the only pair of drop bar long pull levers. I believe the model is RL520. I love the XTR V-Brake and I have them on my bridgestone. I had this bike set up with Tosco bars and there was nowhere near enough reach for me. Unfortunately, youll have to go with bar-end shifters or downtube shifters if you go that route. I dont think youll be happy with the braking if you dont use a long pull lever though. 

RE: cliffhangers. Grant has said that there's no need for msw's but I see what youre saying. Ive only put approx. 200 miles on the bike and it has been fine for me. I think the rims themselves are a little heavy, but if you're wanting to do touring they're really a great option. 

Personally, this bike's utility was covered by bikes I already own ( A riv rambouillet for road/rando, and a bridgestone XO-2 for commuting/touring). I think I really just wanted a full rigid MTB, which this is not.

Someone should scoop this up! I have a 2022 MIT Atlantis and dig it.

Actually, there is one more candidate in the long-pull drop bar brake lever category: Dia-Compe 287V levers.

I have a pair. Rivendell has sold them recently as well.

I suggested to Grant that a market exists for a drop bar lever that can switch between long and short pull (based on moving the pivot - ala Paul Duplex levers). Grant was not inclined toward that idea.
