i've been able to test ride the appaloosa and it rides great. the fork is a new fork and not a hunq fork, it's really cool. top tube is longer, so upright bars are probably better fit, unless you size down according to your top tube. i rode the 51 and felt like it rode closer to a 50cm chev i used to own.
chocos seem pretty sweet, but not for me, i would put on albatross or bosco bars instead. i sold the chev because tire clearance was limited, and wanted v brakes plus more stability. got a hunq, before i was able to try to appaloosa. but if i didn't get the hunq the appaloosa wouldn't be far from my next choice. if drop bars are a must, then the appaloosa might not be the best fit.
