I have both bikes. My Hunqapillar is a 54 with 700C wheels, the Atlantis is a 56 with 26" wheels. The Hunq is set up with racks, fenders, dyno/lights, and boscos. The Atlantis is minimal by comparison; drop bars, downtube shifters, no racks, no fenders, no dyno, but a pretty nice set of 90s era White Industries hubs. There are SO many differences in the setup that it's not super meaningful to compare the two. Sure, as FRAMESETS there's a lot of mission overlap; but as they're set up in the real world, they are fundamentally different bikes. I use the Atlantis for joyriding, and the Hunq for everything (commuting, errands, camping, touring....AND joyriding). The Atlantis handles much quicker than the Hunq. Shorter chainstays? Maybe, but it might be just a simple case of being lighter. I can't imagine anyone regretting a choice between the two, though; they're both wondrous bicycles.
