Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser

0% import tax to Canada - we have a certificate of origin.... USA import tax officially 11% but as Preston mentioned it doesnt seem to be consistently applied - some people are chatged 11, some like Preston nothing and others have reported 5.5% - its all very anecdotal so up to you to decide!

Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser

@englertracing: that's very peculiar - we have actually spec'ed longer chainstays for customers before on the 170 so I can't think why we would have said no - will you drop me a line at sales@athertonbikes.com to see if we can get to the bottom of it? Gill

Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser

@metsrangers35: we have customers who have built these at around 13kg - but tbh we prioritise strength over weight - we believe that our perfect -fit and the perfect pedalling position that comes along with that more than make up for a small increase in weight

Review: Atherton 130.X - The Lugged Carbon Cruiser

Hey all - if you look at the sizing chart that's included it's actually 22 sizes - there is a 10mm increment between each size and tall, reg and low versions with adjusted standover and headtube - the breadth of standard sizes means you'll never be futher than 4mm from your perfect fit - but If you're the type of rider that would appreciate mm perfect fit we also offer custom -sizing ...

Bike Check: Gee Atherton's AM.170

You have to trust us that this bike works best as a mullet! The DNA of this bike was "Dan Atherton's perfect bike", and we've kept true to that throughout development. The mixed wheel config, together with the specific geometry decisions, gives a brilliant balance from park fun to big peddle days and everything in between, but all with a distinctly Athy rowdiness!

There's quite a few things to unpack here! As discussed in the replies we can at the very least offer a shorter seat tube length as a custom fit. Probably best to get in touch to discuss direct. sales@athertonbikes.com Cheers

@chrismac70: the last 4 years of RnD might say otherwise! We are not in any way trying to hide our heritage, but our current product range has come a long way since RBC days. Always good to be reminded of our roots! Cheers
