Need some help from Rivendell Atlantis owners
Do you own a 700c wheeled Atlantis? Cool, I need your help. I am going to be ordering a pair of wood fenders for my future Atlantis and I need to know the following; What is the inside measurement of the front fork at the bridge, and what is the inside measurement of the rear seatstays measured at the brake bridge.
I am hoping that I can get 2" wide fenders to fit the Atlantis.
Thanks for your help.

I can also get 1 1/2" fenders, but I want to ride big fat tires, so the 2" wide fenders would be ideal.

"The coverage of the wood fenders are actually better than the SKS fenders I had on previously. "

Okay I finally measured my Atlantis.
61 cm frame and the inside fork crown measurements and rear seat stay measurement is a bit over 6cm which is about 2 3/8 inches.
I had Berthoud stainless steel fenders, but I removed them when I put bigger cross tires on.
The wood fenders look cool, I may have to try them.

Metal Cowboy, what is expected of the Atlantis that is not provided by your LHT? These would seem to be similar in concept and function. I have been pondering over these two bikes myself as well as a Rambouillet and, am leaning to the Atlantis merely because it can be purchased from Rivi all built up. I am not confident enough to build one up myself.
Also, will your Redwood take a 2" fender?

offers great value (the cross check was first bike after 20 yrs of not riding)...
....the only reason I went with an atlantis is because I got a smokin' deal on a brand new one, shipped, including albatross bars from an authorized riv retailer (US$1000 couldn't beat that in a million yrs)

Making a choice between the Atlantis and the LHT is a tough one. If cost was not object, then the Atlantis wins hands down. Compared dollar for dollar, I have to give the nod to the LHT. I built up my LHT with top notch parts, front and rear racks and panniers, for the same cost of an Atlantis frame.
I went with 1 1/2" fenders on my Redwood. I had to do a little carving with the dremel tool around the brakes; they look awesome.

Thanks for the comments. Since Rivendell recommended a 64 Rambo based on my measurements, the 62 Surly may be a bit on the small size. I have a 62cm bike now and, it's borderline. This helps make my decision. The new Rambos (green) are due in fairly soon according to Rivi. Maybe around the first of March. I also need to look at the Atlantis again.
