Has anyone put a TA or Velo Orange 50.4 BCD double crank on a 700c Atlantis? If so, what's the required bottom bracket width?

Thanks,
Gino

I imagine you'd use a 118mm or maybe a little wider? 

More importantly, did someone score an Atlantis? To quote David E., "Someone's cup runneth over with sweet bikes."

I used a Pro 5 Vis on an old Diamond Back mtb that had clearance for
60s plus fenders. It required a 140 mm bb. I actually had Phil make me
a 145, but discovered it was a wee bit longer than necessary. (I later
sold the 145.)

I'd be curious what you find necessary for your Atlantis.

Well, it is an Atlantis, and it is a TA Cyclotourist...

The closest I got to doing what you suggest was using a Sugino PX on an old Trek TX500:

As I recall, I used a 116, but keep in mind I only used two rings.
