Perhaps the Hunqapillar will fit your yearing for bigger knobby tired lugged bikes? It is touted as somwhere between the Atlantis and the Bombadil. I haven't seen any geometry yet but to me that means at least a 2.0" 29er tire. Perhaps Grant can fill in the missing geometry data so those of us who are searching for that kind of bike ( rough off-road capable) can decide on whether to wait for the 'Hunqa' or not.
