Yeah I dig the name 'Hunqapillar' too. A quick google search suggests the closest thing to it is the surname Hunkapiller, but trying to find the etymology of that name yields nothing. Kind of frustrating, but I guess that's what makes it such a cool name.
As a huge fan of the Bombadil, FTR I think it'd be cool if it did have a second top-tube http://oldbike.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/rmi_2toptube1.jpg I checked out the artist Andrew Denman's site, and his artwork is awesome- i especially like his Pacific Coast landscapes.
