WTB: Atlantis MIT 59cm or 62cm Frameset

[larson....@gmail.com]

Looking far an Atlantis to set up for dirt road exploring and touring. I have an Appaloosa, but looking for bigger tire clearance.

Thank you,

Not to complicate anything, but basis 2023 specs, the MIT Atlantis seems to take the same maximum ~55m tire size. The current spec sheet says the Appaloosa tops out at 60cm; the Atlantis 62cm, so maybe the frame size of your Appaloosa is the issue?

I have the previous version of the Appaloosa, which clearance in reality is about 700x50. I tried 2.1” WTB Nano on Cliffhanger rims and wore some paint off the chainstay in moderately muddy conditions. I would like to run a 2.2/2.3” tire with decent clearance-maybe the Atlantis is not the right choice? I thought 2.3” worked on Atlantis. The 62cm Appaloosa fits me perfectly and I love the way it rides (tire clearance being the only concern).

Thank you for the input.

I have the current MIT and I have Conti Mountain Kings which are a plump 2.3”

Thanks Luke! Your Atlantis is part of the inspiration for this idea.

Randy – love to hear that! This bike’s been a wonderful dirt road shredder over the last year. Stoked to see how you build yours up.

Randy,

I have a 59cm 2022 Atlantis that I've been thinking about parting with. We should talk.
