Very fancy, very expensive Atlantis (owner spent €9500):

... What? I have so many questions.

What size are looking for anyway? One size smaller?

60cm ideally.

Lol wtf 9500€ for a steel bike with rim brakes.
The ad is gone...what made it so expensive (other than importing the frame)?

Just a heads up for folks on this thread that my 53cm Lime Olive Susie W. Longbolts Hillibike will be listed in the classifieds section in the coming days. 12 months old, will sell as a rolling chassis. More info to follow.

Love the Susie and the Gus, looking forward to seeing it @Browndonneur.

It's live :)

That's fun! I like this kind of beater build, normally it's all Paul, WI and Phil Wood on these frames...

Beater build you say?

(to be fair, it's a nice beater build at an artisanal price)

Not committed but considering moving this on as I've lost the will to build it up: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/330747/

Measurements in the thread are a bit off, seat tube more like 59 c-t not c-c as described. As mentioned in the thread there are a few chips to paintwork. Need to sleep on it for a little longer but will happily note any interest in the meantime.

That's beautiful
