I think it's cool that these various iterations of the Hillborne are out there - keeps it interesting. Mine is a single top tube 60cm Maxway with cantis and the fork shown on the Waterford in Bryan's photos. It might be just a tad flexy for some people, but it feels just right under my 160 lb. I'd love to ride both of Bryan's frames built up with identical components; what a education that would be!
