Toyo Atlantis - 47cm (2008 model) Sizing

[Jitensha]

Hello everyone,

First time poster here. 

I have a chance to purchase a Toyo Atlantis in 47cm, but I'm unsure if the bike would be too small for me. I'm 5'6 male with a PBH around 77cm. Based on Rivendell's website the 47cm should be the exact fit for me, but I'm confused if the geometry for the Toyo model differs from the current sizing. 

The good news is that I can drive down and test out the bike this weekend, but if the sizing is completely off, then maybe it wouldn't make sense.

Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated!

Thank you

Hi,

I'm curious to know if you ended up viewing the bike personally. I reached out to the owner on Sunday evening and it was still available for sale. The owner stated there were a few interested party but willing to ship it if  no takers by end of Tuesday... 

Regards,

Christian

Hi there. You can find the geometry, sizing, and PBH ranges for the Toyo models, including the 47, at the this link. (I tried to attach a PDF or an image but gmail wouldn't let me.) 

***** Please be aware that the geometry and sizing of today's Atlantis models are vastly different than the old Toyo models. 

Since your PBH is 77,  you should be ok with the 47cm Toyo, which has a recommended range of 73 to 77, according to the brochure.

Good luck in your search!

Thanks, JJ. 

I was able to try out the 47cm, but in the end it felt too small for me. I think one size up would be better for me.

Hi Christian,

I checked out the Atlantis, but unfortunately it was too small for me and I felt too crammed, so I ended up not purchasing the bike. My gf ended up purchasing the Brooks B17s saddle that was on the Atlantis though.

Hope someone smaller than me can get that beautiful bike!

Hey Jitensha,

I have the 51 Toyo Atlantis if you're interested. it's currently stripped of its parts, but we can talk about a build if you're interested.

Located in New Haven, CT and willing to ship.
