Thanks! That biek is only 3 commuting days old for me....and a year younger than I am...and I love it. That's exactly how I feel, too. I would rather spend hundreds on a very nice C&V bike than thousands on a new one. I'll give them that their bikes are super pretty, and not many people are doing what they are, but I could never justify the pricetag when there are a lot of great classics out there just waiting for someone to ride them. And only at ~5% of the cost of an Atlantis, there is nothing that bike could do that mine can't. Now, if I were to be given a R-dell....well you wouldn't hear any complaints from me
