Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued?

Hi all,

For a couple of years I have lusted after a Lyra Olympos SL. I know about the donor Parnassus requirement; I have had a Parnassus for about 15 years. :-)

Anyway, I am now able to contemplate such a purchase, but was told that no more Olymposes are being made, even for those with a suitable donor Parnassus. Is this correct? (Hopefully John Carr will see this post and be able to provide an authoritative answer!)

Obviously, if the Olympos is indeed no longer being made, I guess the logical alternative would be an Atlas. To those that have heard both the Atlas and Olympos SL, what are your thoughts, and how do they compare (and how do they compare to the Parnassus)? I guess this is another one for JCarr for the time being! :-)

Many thanks in advance for any insight!

Hi Jonathan,

Partially as a result of your comments, I have decided to take the plunge and order an Atlas! Many thanks for your input. And yes, I will be keeping my Parnassus safe in its box, just in case an Olympos SL becomes a financial possibility (lots of other pressing upgrades to buy first!)... :-)
