I had been riding a 1991 Bridgestone CB1 until I built something else. These were Grant's designs with his time at Bridgestone. The geometry of this frame is the same as the Atlantis. They do not have low-rider fork eyelets, and it doesn't have the dedicated fender mounting tab, but other than that it IS the poor-man's Atlantis. Ridden it with 2" street tires and 2.1 MTB tires off road. Commuted and short toured on it as well. It does everything (All Rounder). If you can find a CB, get one. The CB model that is the "most wanted" would be the Zip model. Here's a post to one set up as a great touring bike. Who'd have thought that a "hybrid" bike design would eventually cause such a stir? Mr. Petersen seems to know what he's doing, eh?

I canceled my Photobucket account, so all of my Cb photos are on the home machine.
